Am I the only one humming the theme song from "Cheers". Ah, now I'm showing my age. ;-)

I'm too young to have seen the show, but I still came here to write "and they're always glad he caaaame..."

All know his name. That's what I have to think if I'm asked to translate it back!

[J.Franchomme]

"They all know his name." seems correct as well. Why not?

[MagnesiumSodium]

because "they" would be "loro" in italian, and "they all" refers to a specific group, while everybody is a bit more general.

NORM!

[Ponkercake]

Seriously? I can't have Everyone knows his name?
Stupid

[warind]

Why doesn't the formal 'You' work here? As in "Everyone knows your name."

[sarahkd94]

Because suo specifically refers to the third person singular, he. Tuo would be you.
