Salvete Omnes,

Let us return to some basics. In preparation for some future translations, let us review the Latin Pronouns.

Pronouns are used as Nouns or as Adjectives. Pronouns have special declension forms, which may vary between substantive and adjectival use. They are divided into seven
classes:

Personal Pronouns: ego, I.

Latin has cases we are familiar with in English: subject (nominative), object (actually more than one case), possessive (genitive usually). But there is also a dative, accusative, and ablative cases.

Latin declines masculine, feminine, and neuter personal pronouns in the plural as well as the singular. English, on the other hand, uses the generic, gender-neutral “they,” “them” and “theirs.”
