When discussing categories of people—like types of shoppers or consumers—you will often need to refer generally to "those who." In Italian, you do this by combining a demonstrative pronoun with the relative pronoun **che**.

### Coloro che

To refer to a generalized group of people, you can use the phrase **coloro che**.

**Coloro** is a slightly more formal, elegant pronoun. When combined with *che* ("who" or "that"), it translates to "those who." It is always followed by a verb in the third-person plural.

### Quelli che

In everyday spoken Italian, it is much more common to use **quelli che** instead of *coloro che*. It functions exactly the same way and means exactly the same thing.

### Using them as objects

Both *coloro che* and *quelli che* can be the subject of your sentence, as seen in the examples above. However, they can also act as the object—the people receiving the action.
