Hi Latin learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing Latin pronouns. Pronouns are an important part of Latin grammar, and understanding them is essential for mastering the language. We will look at the different types of pronouns, how they are used, and how to form them.

Types of Pronouns

Pronouns can be divided into two main categories: personal pronouns and demonstrative pronouns.

Personal Pronouns

Personal pronouns are used to refer to people or things. They include the following:

• ego (I)
• tu (you)
• is (he/she/it)
• nos (we)
• vos (you)
• ei (they)

These pronouns can also be declined in the same way as nouns. For example, the first person singular pronoun "ego" can be declined as follows:

• ego (nominative)
• mei (genitive)
• mihi (dative)
• me (accusative)
• me (ablative)

Demonstrative Pronouns

Demonstrative pronouns are used to point out a particular person or thing. They include the following:

• hic (this)
• ille (that)
• iste (that)
• ipse (self)

These pronouns can also be declined in the same way as nouns. For example, the third person singular pronoun "ille" can be declined as follows:

• ille (nominative)
• illius (genitive)
• illi (dative)
• illum (accusative)
• illo (ablative)

Personal pronouns are used to refer to people or things. They can be used as the subject of a sentence, as the object of a verb, or as the object of a preposition.
