Just like nouns, 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.
Me and You
The nominative pronouns ég (I) and þú (you) change to mig (me) and þig (you).
| Do you see me? | Sérð þú mig? |
| I understand you very well. | Ég skil þig mjög vel. |
Him, Her, and It
Masculine (hann) and neuter (það) pronouns look exactly the same whether they are the subject or the object. The feminine pronoun hún (she), however, changes to hana (her).
| Subject (Nominative) | Object (Accusative) | English |
|---|---|---|
| hann | hann | him |
| hún | hana | her |
| það | það | it |
| The boy loves her. | Strákurinn elskar hana. |
| The teacher does not disturb him. | Kennarinn truflar hann ekki. |
Practice with Accusative Verbs
Common action verbs require these accusative pronouns when the action is directed at someone.
| Does he disturb you? | Truflar hann þig? |
| Dad visits her now. | Pabbi heimsækir hana núna. |
| Mom kisses me often. | Mamma kyssir mig oft. |
