Question about Italian
What does "lui (gli)" mean?
I'm studying Italian with an app, and it says he = "lui (gli)", she = "lei (le)", they = "loro (gli)". I am sure about "lui", "lei" and "loro" but confused by the words in (). Would you have any idea what those mean?

- Italian
gli/le is the dative form, used when the pronoun is placed before the verb:
Ho dato la lettera a lui
Gli ho dato la lettera
(I gave him the letter)
The second sentence is more natural

@mywjp it's an indirect pronoun. for example: "i say something to him" would be: "glielo dico"

@mywjp but don't worry as the Italian grammar structure is different form english probably It would be a little confusing at the begining
