#### Usage notes

* Loro (“to them”) is mostly restricted to formal communication. In regular usage gli is used instead, which avoids the following irregularities of loro:
** loro almost always follows the verb
    Parlerò loro. ― I'll talk to them.
** loro generally follows the past participle
    Ho detto loro. ― I told them.
** loro always follows other clitics
** loro is never attached to the verb or other clitics
