Personal Pronouns
The personal pronouns in German have four cases, Nominative, Accusative, Dative and Genitive. There are both Singular and Plural.
| Person | Nominative | Accusative | Dative | Genitive |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1sg | ich | mich | mir | mein |
| 2sg | du | dich | dir | dein |
| 3sg masculine | er | ihn | ihm | sein |
| 3sg feminine | sie | sie | ihr | ihr |
| 3sg neuter | es | es | ihm | sein |
| 1pl | wir | uns | uns | unser |
| 2pl | ihr | euch | euch | euer |
| 3pl/2sg-f | sie/Sie | sie/Sie | ihnen/Ihnen | ihr/Ihr |
The 2nd person ambiguous pronoun is "man." This is used anwhere the English "one" is appropriate. Eg. "How do you (does one) say "house?"" / "Wie sagt man "Haus?"" This word only exists in the nominative case, and is replaced by "einer" if required in any other case.
