Personal Pronouns
Personal pronouns have:

-person

-number

-gender

-case

Personal pronouns in
Nominative singular

JA TI ON ONA ONO
I YOU HE SHE IT

Personal pronouns in Nominative plural

MI VI ONI ONE ONA

THEY(m.) THEY(n.)
WE YOU THEY(f.)

We also use second person plural to address a person with respect, in formal contexts. Then we write

the pronoun with capital first letter. Instead of "ti" we would say "Vi" to a professor, boos, colleague,

š
etc. It is always followed by the verb in second person plural. For example: Da li Vi pi ete knjige?

Pronouns in dative, genitive and accusative have long and short form. We use long form of

pronouns when we want to emphasize. Long pronouns can be used at the end and

beginning of sentence or after prepositions.

Short pronouns express neutral meaning. We can never use short pronouns at the beginning

of sentence or after prepositions.
