Subject Pronouns
Below are Russian subject pronouns. Subject pronouns, like subject nouns, always agree with the verb.
Listen and try to memorize these – how they sound and what they mean.
| Singular | Plural | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1st person | я* (I) | мы* (we) | ||
| 2nd person | ты* (you) | вы* (you all / you (formal)) | ||
| 3rd person | он (he)
она́ (she) оно́ (it) |
они́ (they) | ||
Examples
Try reading these to yourself. Note the translations and that there is no ‘be’ verb in Russian.
| Я студе́нтка. | I (am a) student. |
| Ты студе́нт. | You (are a) student. |
| Он профе́ссор. | He (is a) professor. |
| Мы студе́нты. | We are students. |
| Вы профе́ссор? | Are you a professor? |
| Вы студе́нты? | Are you (y’all) students? |
| Они́ муж и жена́. | They are husband and wife. |
| Э́то я!* | It’s (I) me!* |
*Note: although ‘я’, or ‘I’, is in the predicate in the last example, the subject pronoun is used.
