Welcome to our lesson on Object Pronouns in Galician! Understanding object pronouns is crucial for forming coherent sentences and making your conversations in Galician flow more smoothly. Object pronouns replace nouns that receive the action of the verb, allowing us to avoid unnecessary repetition and make our sentences clearer.

In this lesson, we will:

Define what object pronouns are.

Present the Galician object pronouns.

Show you how to use them in sentences with plenty of examples.

Provide exercises to practice what you've learned.

By the end of this lesson, you'll be able to use object pronouns confidently in your Galician conversations. Let’s dive in!

What Are Object Pronouns?[edit | edit source]

Object pronouns are words that replace nouns in a sentence, specifically the nouns that undergo the action of the verb. For example, in English, we say "I see him," where "him" is the object pronoun replacing a noun. In Galician, the use of object pronouns follows similar principles but with its own unique forms.

Galician Object Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Here are the object pronouns in Galician:

Pronoun	Pronunciation	English Translation
me	/me/	me
te	/te/	you (singular, informal)
o	/o/	him/it (masculine)
a	/a/	her/it (feminine)
nos	/nos/	us
vos	/vos/	you (plural, informal)
os	/os/	them (masculine)
as	/as/	them (feminine)

Usage of Object Pronouns in Sentences[edit | edit source]

Object pronouns in Galician typically come before the verb. However, in imperative sentences, they can be attached to the verb. Let’s look at some examples to clarify this.

Basic Sentence Structure[edit | edit source]

1. Using object pronouns before the verb:

Example: Eu vexo o coche. (I see the car.)

In this sentence, "o" replaces "coche" when we use the object pronoun.

2. Using object pronouns with a verb in the infinitive:

Example: Quiero te ver. (I want to see you.)

"Te" replaces the noun that would be the direct object.

3. Imperative sentences:

Example: Vén me ver! (Come see me!)

Here, "me" is attached to the verb "ver."

4. With negative sentences:

Example: Non o vexo. (I don’t see him/it.)

The object pronoun "o" still comes before the verb even in a negative sentence.

5. With direct objects:

Example: Vou comprar a casa. (I am going to buy the house.)

When using the object pronoun, it would be: Vou comprar a.

6. In questions:

Example: Te gusta? (Do you like it?)

"Te" replaces the noun that would be the object of liking.

7. With reflexive verbs:

Example: Eu me vexo no espello. (I see myself in the mirror.)

Here, "me" reflects back to the subject.

8. With compound tenses:

Example: Eu a vin. (I saw her.)

"A" is used as the object pronoun in the past tense.

9. In conjunction with other pronouns:

Example: Eu nos vemos. (We see each other.)

"Nos" represents the reflexive aspect.

10. In expressions of preference:

Example: Gústame o teu libro. (I like your book.)

"O" here serves as the object pronoun.

Practice Makes Perfect[edit | edit source]

Now that we’ve explored object pronouns in depth, let’s put your understanding to the test! Below are some exercises to practice using Galician object pronouns in various contexts.

Exercises[edit | edit source]

1. Translate the following sentences into Galician:

I see you.

She likes him.

2. Fill in the blanks with the correct object pronouns:

Eu vexo ___ (you).

Quiero comprar ___ (the car).

Non ___ (them) vin.

Gústame ___ (your book).

3. Rearrange the following sentences to include object pronouns:

Eu vexo o meu amigo. (I see my friend.)

Ti gustas a min. (You like me.)

4. Match the sentences with the appropriate object pronouns:

Eu quero ver... (I want to see...)

Nós contamos... (We tell...)

Eles están mirando... (They are looking at...)

5. Choose the correct object pronoun to complete each sentence:

Vou dar ___ (me, te, os) o libro.

Eles viron ___ (nos, as, a) no parque.

Solutions and Explanations[edit | edit source]

-Galician object pronouns are essential in constructing meaningful and accurate sentences.

+* ...''nos''.
-* Eu prestareino á mañá. (I will lend **it** to **him/her/it**.)
