Plural.

Nom.	Noĭ, ‘we;’	voĭ, ‘you;’	eĭ, ele, ‘they.’
Dat.	nouă, ‘to us;’	vouă, ‘to you;’	lor, ‘them.’
Acc.	pe noĭ,	pe voĭ,	pe eĭ, pe ele.

The genitive is replaced by the possessive pronouns.

For the Vocative and Ablative cases we use different interjections or prepositions, followed by the Dative or Accusative. (See Syntax.)

For the third person, instead of el, ea, the pronouns, dînsul, dînsa, are often used.

The Abbreviated Forms of the Genitive and Dative.

We have an abbreviated form of the personal pronouns the right use of which is very difficult for foreigners to acquire.
