Questions & Answers about Non conosco nessuno dei tuoi contatti.
Why is conosco used here instead of a form of sapere?
Why does the sentence use both non and nessuno? Isn't that a double negative?
Does nessuno mean "nobody" or "any"?
Why is it dei tuoi contatti and not just di tuoi contatti?
In Italian, possessive adjectives like tuoi (your) almost always need a definite article before them. Here, the article is i (the plural for masculine nouns like contatti). When the preposition di (of) meets the article i, they merge into the combined word dei.
