Personal pronouns in the Instrumental
In the course of the last two lessons we have learned how to form the Instrumental case with Russian nouns. Today we will have a look at the personal pronouns in the Instrumental case.
Here is how they change in the Instrumental case:
| Nominative | Instrumental |
|---|---|
| я | мной |
| ты | тобо́й |
| он | им / ним |
| она́ | е́ю / не́ю (ей / ней) |
| оно́ | им / ним |
| мы | на́ми |
| вы | ва́ми |
| они́ | и́ми / ни́ми |
Remember: use the pronouns that start with Н- after prepositions.
Examples:
Ты пойдёшь со мной?
Will you go with me?
Я пе́ред тобо́й ни в чём не винова́та.
I’m not guilty of anything toward you.
Мы им горди́мся.
We are proud of him.
Наде́юсь, с ней ничего́ не случило́сь.
I hope nothing happened to her.
Он у́чится вме́сте с на́ми.
He studies with us.
С ва́ми всё в поря́дке?
Is everything ok with you?
У меня́ с ни́ми хоро́шие отноше́ния.
I have good relations with them.
