Personal pronouns in the Genitive
Last two lessons we dedicated to forming the Genitive case Russian nouns.
Today is the turn of personal pronouns.
Here are the personal pronouns in the Genitive:
| Nominative | Genitive |
|---|---|
| я | меня́ |
| ты | тебя́ |
| он | его́ / него́ |
| она́ | её / неё |
| оно́ | его́ / него́ |
| мы | нас |
| вы | вас |
| они́ | их / них |
Pay attention: when a pronoun has two forms, use the form that starts with Н after prepositions.
Now, let’s practice with some examples (the pronouns in the Genitive are highlighted):
Э́ти цветы́ для меня́.
These flowers are for me.
Для тебя́ тут письмо́.
There is a letter for you here.
Его здесь нет.
He is not here.
Её здесь нет.
She is not here.
Все согласи́лись, кро́ме него́.
Everyone agreed except him.
Для нас э́то ва́жно.
It is important for us.
Мы пригото́вили для них сюрпри́з.
We have prepared a surprise for them.
Practice the pronouns and all today’s words and phrases with the audio track. In the next lesson we will continue to learn Russian and have a look at other pronouns in the Genitive case.

Hello! Please, the Russian female pronoun is: она or она́? With or without accentuation??
Thanks
Hi Leo,
Both are correct, but она́ is only used for educational purposes. In real life, the accents are never used in writing.
nice place to learn alot in less time.
and happy victory day!
Thank you. )

Hello wayne,
Thank you very much for your comment. We are very glad to be useful.
We’d like just to let you know that this course is designed for quite a long time (for example, we’ll be studying the Prepositional case only in November). We want to provide our readers with basics so that they could use this knowledge in their everyday practice.
Good luck!
