Introduction to Slovenčina Personal Pronouns
Personal pronouns in Slovenčina are words that we use to replace nouns and refer to people or things. Just like in English, these pronouns change based on who or what you are talking about.
Types of Personal Pronouns
Important Points
- First person singular: 'ja' (I)
- Second person singular: 'ty' (you)
- Third person singular: 'on', 'ona', 'ono' (he, she, it)
- First person plural: 'my' (we)
- Second person plural: 'vy' (you all)
- Third person plural: 'oni', 'ony' (they - masculine, they - feminine)
Using Personal Pronouns in Sentences
We use personal pronouns to talk about ourselves, other people, or things. In Slovenčina, the pronoun changes depending on the case, which is the role the pronoun plays in the sentence.

- Genitive: Shows possession or relationship.
- Dative: Used for the indirect object.
- Accusative: Used for the direct object.
- Locative: Used after prepositions to show location.
- Instrumental: Shows the means by which something is done.
