Pronouns after a negated verb
A negated verb takes the Genitive — you know this for nouns (nie mam czasu). The object pronouns follow: after nie, him / her / them are go, her (Genitive: after nie + verb, and in the n-form after prepositions) jej
| Accusative (after a verb) | Genitive (after nie + verb) | |
|---|---|---|
| him, it (m) | go | go |
| her, it (f) | ją | jej |
| it (n) | je | go |
| them | ich / je | ich |
| I do not know him. | Nie znam go. |
| I do not know her. | Nie znam jej. |
| She is not at home. | Nie ma jej w domu. |
Only the feminine changes; go and ich look the same in both cases.
After a preposition
After do, dla and the other Genitive prepositions the third-person pronouns grow an n-: him, it (after a preposition) niego her (after a preposition) niej them (after a preposition) nich
| This is coffee for him. | To jest kawa dla niego. |
| This is a letter to her. | To jest list do niej. |
| I am going to their place today. | Idę do nich dzisiaj. |
