Personal pronouns in Russian:
| Person | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | я (I) | мы (we) |
| 2nd | ты (you, informal) | вы (you, formal/plural) |
| 3rd M | он (he) | they (они) |
| 3rd F | она (she) | they (они) |
| 3rd N | оно (it) | they (они) |
Usage tips
- Ты is for friends, family, children. Вы is for strangers, elders, or multiple people.
- Russian pronouns are often omitted because the verb ending already shows the subject. E.g., Я читаю → читаю (the -ю ending implies "I").
- In the past tense, gender matters: он читал vs. она читала.
