Pronouns in Portuguese
I, you, he, she, it... – Personal Pronouns in Portuguese

 

The personal pronouns in Portuguese are far from being used often.

When a Portuguese personal pronoun is the subject of a sentence, it is often omitted.

Portuguese personal pronouns
singular plural
eu – I
tu – you
vocĂŞ/o senhor/a senhora
(+ verb in 3rd person) – you / you polite
ele – he
ela – she
nós – we
 
vocĂŞs/os senhores/as senhoras
(+ verb in 3rd person) – you, polite
eles – they (m)
elas – they (f)

Personal pronouns as the object of a sentence

In Portuguese, you don't have to learn case endings for nouns, but with personal pronouns you have to choose between the dative and the accusative form.

Personal pronouns in the dative
singular plural
me me nos us
te you vos you
lhe him/ her/ it / you lhes them
Pronouns in the accusative
me me nos us
te you vos you
lo him los them
la her las them
lo / la it los / las them
