esso

English translation of esso

it

The word 'esso' is the Italian equivalent of 'it' in English. It is a pronoun used to replace a previously mentioned noun, typically in the masculine singular form. However, unlike English, Italian uses different pronouns based on the gender and number of the noun being replaced. For example, 'it' could also be 'essa' for feminine singular or 'essi' for masculine plural, and 'esse' for feminine plural.
