Pronome relativo CUI
Relative pronoun CUI

“… in cui l’Italia uscì ai quarti di finale”
(…where they reached the quarter-finals)

“Cui” is a relative pronoun in Italian that is used to introduce a subordinate clause and to refer to a noun or a pronoun that comes before it.
It is used instead of “che” (that, which) when following a preposition.

For example, in the sentence above, ”in cui” means “in which” in English. It introduces a relative clause and links it to the noun “Mondiale” (World Cup) that was previously mentioned.

Here are more examples:

• “Nella città IN CUI abito ci sono molti cinema” (There are a lot of cinemas in the town IN WHICH I live)

• “L’amico A CUI scrivo si chiama Luca” (The friend TO WHOM I’m writing is called Luca)

• “La casa IN CUI abito è carina” (The house IN WHICH I live is cozy)
