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 (nin) (me)	men (ven) (us, not you)
First person inclusive	-	gwen ('wen) (us, and you)
Formal second person	len (len) (you)	den (dhen) (you all)
Informal second person	cin (gin) (you)	cin (gin) (you all)
Third person	ten (den) (him/her/it)	tin (din) (them)
Close demonstrative	sen (hen) (this)	sin (hin) (these)
Far demonstrative	san (han) (that)	sain (hain) (those/them)

The table above shows the unmutated forms of the pronouns followed by their soft mutated forms in brackets that you will use at most times. You need to know the unmutated forms for instances where you need to apply nasal, in phrases such as Na chin = With you and Dan then = Against her.

Using object pronouns

Examples:
Goheno men = Forgive us
Hado ten! = Throw it!
Gin cenin = I see you
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 ten = 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 egenn = He saw them (referring to a group of people)

Dative pronouns

Person	Singular	Reflexive	Plural
First person exclusive	Annin/Enni (to/for me)	Anim (to/for myself)	Ammen (to/for us, not you)
First person inclusive	-	-	Angwen (to/for us and you)
Formal second person	Anlen/Allen (to/for you)	Anech (to/for yourself)	Anden (to/for you all)
Informal second person	Angin/Achin (to/for you)	Anech (to/for yourself)	Angin/Achin/Echin (to/for you all)
Third person	Athen (to him/her/it)	Anest (to/for his/her/itself)	Athin/Ethin (to/for them)
Close demonstrative	Anhen (to this)	-	Anhin (to/for these)
Far demonstrative	Anhan (to that)	-	Anhain (to/for those/them)

Examples:
Te maer annin = It is good to me
Onen i grist athen = I gave the sword to her

Linno dínen anech!  = Sing to yourself quietly!
