Object pronouns
Level A1 · Unit 5: Food and café · Lesson 3: Me, you, him, her
Use the short form in most sentences. Like sem and se, it goes in second place:
- Slišim te. I hear you. · Zdaj te slišim. Now I hear you.
- Ali me poznaš? Do you know me?
Use the long form for emphasis or contrast, and after prepositions:
- Tebe vidim, njega pa ne. I can see you, but not him.
- To je za mene. This is for me. (often shortened to zame)
| short | long | |
|---|---|---|
| me | me | mene |
| you | te | tebe |
| him | ga | njega |
| her | jo | njo |
| us | nas | nas |
| you (plural / formal) | vas | vas |
| them | jih | njih |
