"I cuochi mangiano le torte."

Translation: The cooks eat the cakes.

[Lowryderkid]

Why is it "I cuochi" and not "Gli cuochi" ? :)

[KSmitch]

Gli is reserved for nouns that begin with vowels. Gli uomini, gli elefanti, gli insetti, etc. It's the plural form of "the" for nouns beginning in vowels.

[br13lle]

Actually, gli is also used with words beginning with "z" or "s+consonant".

[YourDarkGuardian]

Thanks for that! Now it makes sense.

[GarnetLomi]

Gli is a plural og lo or l' and it use when it is start in s followed by a consanant or it start in z.

I bastardi ! Perche mangiano le torte - le torte sono per gli ospiti !

[How2ExitCourses]

Can a second "le torte" be replaced with "loro"? Or is there some sort of a different word used to replace things so that there'd be no repetition?
