Catalan Pronouns

Learning the Catalan Pronouns displayed below is vital to the language. Catalan 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).

Grammar Tips:

In English personal pronouns are (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they), and (me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them), In Catalan, the personal pronouns are:

Jo (I), tu (you), ell (he), ella (she), 

Nosaltres (we), vosaltres (you, plural)…, ells (they masc.), elles (they fem.).

Examples: jo aprenc (I learn), tu aprens (you learn), ell aprèn (he learns), ella aprèn (she learns), vostè aprèn (you learn [polite]), nosaltres aprenem (we learn), vosaltres apreneu (you learn [plural]), ells aprenen (they learn), elles aprenen (they learn), vostès aprenen (you learn [plural, polite]).

Indirect Object Pronouns:

Indirect object pronouns are words that replace the indirect object, which is usually a person.

Em/m'/me (me), et/t’/te(you), li (him, her, you [formal]), ens/nos (us), us/vos (you), els (them):

Examples: Dóna’m el llibre (give me the book). T’estimo (I love you). Els agrada el gelat? (Do they like icecream?). Vull dir-vos que em caso (I would like to let you [plural] know that I am getting married).

As you can see, they change in contact with vowels and depending on their role in the sentence.
