Pronouns

Personal pronouns in Spanish have distinct forms according to whether they stand for a subject (nominative), a direct object (accusative), an indirect object (dative), or a reflexive object.

The personal pronoun "vos" is used in some areas of Latin America, particularly in Central America, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, the state of Zulia in Venezuela, and the Andean regions of Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador.

The table below shows a list of personal pronouns from Peninsular (European) and Latin American Spanish.

Demonstrative pronouns


Spanish also has three groups of demonstrative pronouns, which are used to refer to particular nouns. An example in English would be 'Give me that chair' versus 'Give me this chair'.

  • Near the speaker ("this"): éste, ésta, esto, éstos, éstas

  • Near the listener ("that"): ése, ésa, eso, ésos, ésas

  • Far from both speaker and listener ("that (over there)"): aquél, aquélla, aquello, aquéllos, aquéllas
