In this lesson we're going to look at two sets of pronouns: Object pronouns, and Dative pronouns.

Object (also known as oblique) pronouns act as the direct object, and are generally placed before the verb.
Dative pronouns are object pronouns with an = to/for prefixed onto them. They usually come at the end of the sentence.

The first person inclusive forms are Doriathrin Sindarin (for Elves born and living in the First Age), and would not be used in the Third Age onwards.

Object pronouns

First person exclusive	nin (me)	ven (us, not you)
First person inclusive	b	'wen (us, and you)
Formal second person	len (you)	len (you all)
Informal second person	gin (you)	gin (you all)
Third person	den (him/her/it)	din (them)
Close demonstrative	hen (this)	hin (these)
Far demonstrative	han (that)	hain (those/them)

Using object pronouns

The table above shows the mutated forms of these pronouns that you will use at all times. These pronouns are never used unmutated.

Examples:
Goheno ven = Forgive us
Hado den! = Throw it!
Gin cenin = I see you
Han ú-aniron = I don't want that
Hen ristant = She cut this
Den sabannen = I excavated it
Gin melathon an-uir = I will love you forever
Ven northathar = They will race us (on horses)
I orn dannatha bo den = The tree will fall on him

What is the difference between Din = Them and Hain = Them?
Din refers to people, and Hain refers to objects, for example:
Im Narvi, hain echant = I Narvi, made them (referring to the runes on the Hollin Gate)
Din cenn = He saw them (referring to a group of people)

Dative pronouns
