Latvian Pronouns

Learning the Latvian Pronouns displayed below is vital to the


language. Latvian pronouns include personal pronouns (refer to the
persons speaking, the persons spoken to, or the persons or things
spoken about), indefinite pronouns, relative pronouns (connect parts
of sentences) and reciprocal or reflexive pronouns (in which the
object of a verb is being acted on by verb's subject).

Grammar Tips:

In English personal pronouns are (I, you, he, she, it, we, you, they), and
(me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them), In Latvian, the personal
pronouns are:

Es… (I), tu… (you), viņš… (he), viņa… (she),

Mēs… (we), jūs…… (you) viņi… (they masc.), viņas… (they fem.)

Examples: es mācos (I learn), tu mācies (you learn), viņš mācās (he


learns), viņa mācās (she learns), jūs mācāties (you learn [polite]), mēs
mācāmies (we learn), jūs mācāties (you learn [plural]), viņi mācās
(they learn [plural masc.]), viņas mācās (they learn [plural fem.]).

Indirect Object Pronouns:

Indirect object pronouns are words that replace the indirect object,
which is usually a person.

Man (me), tev (you), to (him, her, you (formal), mūs (us), jūs (you), tos
(them):

Examples: Padod man grāmatu (give me the book). Es mīlu tevi (I love
you).

Possessive Pronouns:

Mans (mine masc.), mana (mine fem.), tavs / tava (yours), viņa /
viņas (his, hers), mūsu (ours), jūsu (yours), viņu (theirs).
