Subject Pronouns

Posted in |

Pronouns are basically words that represent the noun that it stands for. In English, we may use a variety of sentences using the character ‘Peter’. But to refer him in the later sentences we would use a pronoun ‘he’ in place of ‘Peter’. It does change accordingly to feminine and plurals. We have pronouns such as ‘she’ to represent a feminine noun and ‘we’ and ‘they’ to refer to the plural nouns.

io I Noi we
tu you (informal) Voi you all
Lui/lei he/she Loro, loro they / they

Suject pronouns can be mainly be used in the following ways:

‘io’ is used to refer to I in Italian. ‘noi’ is used for the same in plural

‘tu’ is used to refer to ‘you’ while ‘voi’ is used for plurals. Mind you that, ‘lei’ and ‘voi’ is used for you (formal) for singular and plural respectively

‘Lui/loro’ is used to refer to he/she respectively and ‘loro’ is used for their plurals
