os m. pl. (masculine singular o, feminine singular a, feminine plural as)

  1. (definite) the

[edit] Usage notes

The definite article o (in all its forms) regularly forms contractions when it follows the prepositions a (“‘to’”), con (“‘with’”), de (“‘of, from’”), and en (“‘in’”). For example, con os ("with the") contracts to cos, and en os ("in the") contracts to nos.

[edit] Pronoun

os m pl accusative (nominative eles, oblique eles, dative lles)

  1. them (masculine plural third-person personal pronoun)

[edit] Usage notes

The third-person direct object pronouns o, os, a, and as, have variant forms prefixed with l- or n-. These alternative forms appear depending on the ending of the preceding word. The l- forms (e.g. los) are used when the preceding word ends in -r or -s. The n- forms (e.g. nos) are used when the preceding word ends in a -u or a diphthong. These alternative forms are then suffixed to the preceding word.

In all other situations, the standard forms of the pronouns are used (o, os, a, as) and are not suffixed to the preceding word.

These direct object pronouns also form contractions when they immediately follow an indirect object pronoun. For example, Dou che os ("I gave you them.") contracts to Dou chos.
