Questions & Answers about L’impiegato spiega come scegliere il timbro giusto.

Why is l’impiegato used instead of il impiegato or lo impiegato?

In Italian, the masculine singular article il becomes l’ (with an apostrophe) before a noun starting with a vowel. You do not use lo before a simple vowel—that form is reserved for words beginning with s+consonant, z, gn, etc. Since impiegato begins with i, il impiegato is elided to l’impiegato.

What exactly does impiegato mean? Is it “employee,” “clerk,” or something else?

Impiegato can be translated as:

• employee (general office worker)
• clerk (someone who processes paperwork)
• staff member in a bureaucratic or administrative context

If the person is female, you simply say l’impiegata.

Why is the verb spiega in the simple present tense? Could you use a different tense?
