Learning the Latin Pronouns is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation. The more you master it the more you get closer to mastering the Latin language. But first we need to know what the role of Pronouns is in the structure of the grammar in Latin.
Latin pronouns include personal pronouns (refer to the persons speaking, the persons spoken to, or the persons or things spoken about), indefinite pronouns, relative pronouns (connect parts of sentences) and reciprocal or reflexive pronouns (in which the object of a verb is being acted on by verb's subject).
In
English personal pronouns are (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they), and (me,
you, him, her, it, us, you, them), In Latin, the personal pronouns are:
ego… (I), tū… (you), is… (he), ea… (she), id… (it),
nōs… (we),
vōs … (you all), eī or iī
… (they masc.), eae… (they fem.), ea… (they
neuter)
Examples:
ego amo (I love), tū amās (you love), is amat
(he loves),
nōs
amāmus (we love), vōs amātis (you all
love), eae amant (they love)
Note:
Since the verb’s ending also indicates the number and person of the subject,
you typically will not see ego, tu, etc.
