Do you know what a pronoun is? And what about German?

We are not at all surprised that at birth, children do not know how to speak, and by the year they have spoken their first words, to three - related sentences, to six - learn to read and write.

We may well not have an idea ofgrammar of the native language, but at the same time freely communicate with it. Perhaps, if you ask people on the street about what a pronoun is, the majority at best will say "I, you ...". And this does not in the least interfere with them in life.

However, the situation is different with the study offoreign language. For a logical understanding of the rules, it is simply necessary to know the answer to the question "what is a pronoun and other parts of speech?" And then we learn that, it turns out, pronoun Is a word that is not called an objector its signs, but point to it. Without them, it is simply impossible to avoid any conversation, much less in a written speech, where the tautology is even more visible, because pronouns serve as a substitute for other nominal parts of speech - noun, adjective, numerals.

According to statistics, 30% of our oral and 20% writtenspeech consists only of pronouns, and in the most detailed grammatical reference books of the Russian language, pronouns number 20 digits. However, in the table, for simplicity of understanding, only the main classes of pronouns of the Russian language are presented, as well as examples for each of them.

Basic classes of pronouns in Russian

No.	The class of pronouns	Examples
1	Personal	I, you, we
2	Returnable	yourself
3	Possessive	my, your, his, them
4	Undefined	somewhere, someone, anything
5	Negative	nowhere, no one, never
6	Interrogative-relative	where, when, what
7	With a value of "not this"	other, differently
8	Indicative	this, that, so, so
9	Strengthening	himself, most
10	Universality	all, all, everywhere
11	Reciprocal	one to another, to one another

Pronouns in Russian and German almostcompletely coincide, more often confusion arises with their kind, because German and Russian nouns, denoting the same thing, sometimes have a completely different kind. Therefore, there is no need to explain once again what a pronoun is in German. It is better to pay attention to declination pronouns. In German, each class has its own characteristics, as, indeed, in Russian, we just do not think about it.

Personal pronouns

Case	I	you	he	it	she is	we	you	they	You
Nominativ	ich	before	ep	eu	sie	wir	ihr	sie	Sie
Genitiv	meiner	deiner	seiner	seiner	ihrer	unser	euer	ihrer	Ihrer
Dativ	peace	dir	ihm	ihm	ihr	unser	euch	ihnen	Ihnen
Akkusativ	mich	dich	ihn	eu	sie	wir	euch	sie	Sie

As can be seen from the table, endings in personal casespronouns in German and in Russian almost completely coincide. At the same time, their declension resembles a definite article, and as regards the genitive case, which is difficult to remember, it is practically not used. Proximate pronouns are derived from personal pronouns. In German, everything here is even more logical than in Russian: their endings are similar to the declension of a definite article, and in the plural - to an indefinite article.

Possessive pronouns

Case	Masculinum	Femininum	Neutrum	Plural
Nominativ	mein mund	deine Nase	sein körper	unsere Auge
Genitiv	meineu Mundeu	deinep Nase	seineu Körperfrom	unserep Auge
Dativ	meineat Mund	deinep Nase	seineat Körper	unseren AugeMr.
Akkusativ	meinen Mund	deine Nase	sein körper	unsere Auge

Now that we have learned that such a pronoun andhow they change by case and gender, and also learned this information, the topic of declination will definitely go much easier, and in time we will not have any problems with using endings in oral speech and writing.
