Latin Pronouns
Latin pronouns stand in for nouns and vary by case, number, and gender. Major categories:
- Personal Pronouns: e.g., ego, tū, nōs, vōs (“I,” “you,” “we,” “you all”).
- Demonstrative Pronouns: e.g., hic (“this”), ille (“that”), iste (“that [of yours]”).
- Relative Pronouns: e.g., quī, quae, quod (“who,” “which,” “that”).
- Reflexive Pronouns: e.g., sē (“himself,” “herself,” “themselves”).
- Interrogative Pronouns: e.g., quis, quid (“who?” “what?”).
- Indefinite Pronouns: e.g., aliquis, aliquid (“someone,” “something”).
They must agree in gender and number with their antecedents, but their case is determined by how they function within a sentence.
