Grammar

Articoli partitivi = “dei”
Partitive articles: “some”

“ha registrato dei record”
(has already set records)

In Italian, the partitive article indicates some part, an unspecified number of a group of things/people.
It’s formed by the preposition “di” + the definite article, which agrees in number and gender with the word that follows, in this case: di + i = dei.
It can be used with both countable and uncountable nouns; with countable nouns, only plural forms dei, delle, degli:

– Vorrei dello zucchero, grazie (I would like some sugar, please)
– Ci sono degli studenti italiani in classe (There are some Italian students in class)
– Oggi ho del tempo libero (Today I have some free time)
