Introduction to relative clauses
How you translate "che" depends on the context, function and part of speech. For example:
Adjective: what, which e.g. Which clothes shall I pack?
Conjunction: that, than
Pronoun: who, whom, what, which, such, that
Interjection: What? Really?
When you need to use a relative pronoun you can only use "that" when it introduces a defining (identifying) relative clause. Look at the examples below:
The man who/that lives next door is a famous writer (Defining relative clause, identifies the subject so you can use that or who)
John Smith, who lives next door, is a famous writer. (Non defining relative clause, only adds information must use who)
