The abridged forms of the pronouns are only used after verbs, and cannot be employed after prepositions, or when emphasis is to be laid upon the pronoun.

The pronoun niego is sometimes changed into ń in the genitive and accusative, and is united with the preposition, as dlań for ‘him;’ so also the pronoun ci is changed into c, and is attached to a previous word ending in a vowel.

The pronoun siebie, się is reflexive: it is used to express the singular and the plural of all three genders, and may refer to all three persons.

The are declined like adjectives, as mój, ‘my,’ twój, ‘thy;’ for the third person the genitive singular and plural of the person pronoun is used, as jego, ich.
