      Mi fanno male tutte le ossa. ― All my bones are aching.
      Le sue ossa riposano nella tomba di famiglia. ― His bones are resting in the family tomb.
    • The masculine plural refers to bones considered individually, not as a whole:

      Il macellaio butta via gli ossi. ― The butcher throws the bones away.
