Questions & Answers about Coloro che trovano un volo conveniente viaggiano spesso all'estero.
Could I use quelli che instead of coloro che in this sentence?
Wait, doesn't conveniente mean "convenient"?
This is a classic false friend! In Italian, conveniente usually refers to something being a good deal, economical, or affordable. If you wanted to say a flight time is "convenient" (as in practical or fitting your schedule), you would use a word like comodo or pratico.
Why do we use the combined preposition all' in all'estero?
The phrase all'estero is a fixed expression meaning "abroad." You will always use the preposition a combined with the definite article l' when talking about being abroad or going abroad, even though individual countries usually take the preposition in (like in Italia).
Does coloro che ever require the subjunctive, or is the indicative trovano always correct?
You use the indicative (trovano) when making a factual observation about a real group of people, as in this sentence. You can use the subjunctive (trovino) if you want to emphasize a hypothetical condition, meaning "Anyone, whoever they might be, who might find a flight...". However, for general statements of fact, the indicative is standard.
