Learning the Italian Pronouns displayed below is vital to the language. Italian 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 Italian, the personal pronouns are:
io… (I), tu… (you), lui, egli… (he), lei, ella… (she),
noi… (we), voi… (they masc.), essi, esse, loro… (they fem.)
Examples: io imparo (I learn), tu impair (you learn), lui, egli impara (he learns), lei, ella impara (she learns), noi impariamo (we learn), voi imparate (you learn), essi, esse, loro imparano (they learn). The polite form is simply made with the pronoun in capital letter: Lui impara, Lei impara, Loro imparano.
Indirect Object Pronouns:
Indirect object pronouns are words that replace the indirect object, which is usually a person.
Me (me), te (you), lo, gli (him), la, le (her), ci (us), vi (you), loro (them):
Examples: Dammi il libro (give me the book). Ti amo (I love you).
Possessive Pronouns:
Mío (mine masc.), mía (mine fem.), miei (mine, plural masc.), míe (mine, plural fem.), tuo / tua (yours), suo / sua (his, hers), nostro / nostra (ours), vostro / vostra (yours), suo / sua (theirs), loro (theirs, polite form).
