Just like singular pronouns, plural pronouns change their form when they are the direct object of a sentence. They take the accusative case to show they are receiving the action.

### Us and You All

The nominative pronouns **við** (we) and **þið** (you all) change to **okkur** (us) and **ykkur** (you all) when they are the object.

The verb **heyra** means "to hear". Let's see it with our new pronouns:

### Them (Masculine, Feminine, and Neuter)

Just like the subject pronouns, the word for "them" depends on the gender of the group you are talking about.

| Subject (Nominative) | Object (Accusative) | English |
| --- | --- | --- |
| þeir | þá | them (m.) |
| þær | þær | them (f.) |
| þau | þau | them (n.) |

Notice that only the masculine form changes (**þeir** becomes **þá**)! The feminine (**þær**) and neuter (**þau**) plural pronouns look exactly the same whether they are doing or receiving the action.

### Meeting and Asking

Let's practice these object pronouns with the verbs **hitta** (to meet) and **spyrja** (to ask).
