Questions & Answers about L'imprenditore con il quale lavoro cerca di risolvere il problema attuale.
Why do we use con il quale here instead of con cui?
You can absolutely say con cui, which is very common in everyday speech! Using il quale (and its forms la quale, i quali, le quali) after a preposition is a slightly more formal alternative. Because it includes the article il, it has to match the gender and number of the noun it refers to—in this case, the masculine singular l'imprenditore.
Wait, doesn't attuale mean "actual"?
This is a classic "false friend." Attuale actually means "current" or "present" (related to the present time). If you want to say "actual" in the sense of "real," you would use words like vero or reale.
Why is the article il used with problema if the word ends in "-a"?
Why is there a di between cerca and risolvere?
