- "Lui non sa chi sono."

A rule that seems to apply in other languages which have a similar Sapere vs Conoscere dichotomy is that Sapere-type verbs are usually followed by a verb in a subordinate clause, and Conoscere-type verbs usually take a noun. So, in this case you would have "Lui non mi conosce".
I grant you that the division seems to be fuzzier in Italian, though!

It said the right answer was "He doesn't know who they're", but contracted forms of "be" can't end a sentence.
