Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.The Spanish pronoun 'ello' is a neuter singular pronoun that translates to 'it' in English. It is used to refer to an inanimate object or concept, and it can also be used as a subject or an object in a sentence.
In Spanish, the pronoun 'ello' is not commonly used in everyday conversation. Instead, it is more frequently used in formal or written contexts. In spoken language, native speakers often use other pronouns like 'eso' or 'aquello' to refer to things or concepts.
When using the pronoun 'ello', it is important to remember that its gender is neuter and it should only be used to refer to non-living things or abstract ideas. If you are referring to a living being or a person, you should use the appropriate personal pronoun instead.
