Pronoun

она́ (oná) (masculine counterpart он, neuter counterpart оно́)

  1. she, it (third-person feminine singular pronoun)
    Её нет до́ма (genitive)Jejó net dómaShe’s not home.
    Ей не спи́тся. (dative)Jej ne spítsja.She is unable to sleep.
    Я ви́жу её. (accusative)Ja vížu jejó.I see her.
    За не́ю пять рубле́й. (instrumental)Za néju pjatʹ rubléj.She owes five rubles.
    Он э́то при ней сказа́л. (prepositional)On éto pri nej skazál.He said it in her presence.
Usage notes
  • Whenever a preposition stands immediately before any of the oblique cases of the third-person pronoun (singular or plural) and directly governs it, then an н- (n-) is prefixed to the pronoun: от неё (ot nejó, from her); на ней (na nej, on her); у неё (u nejó, she has); к ней (k nej, to her); с не́ю (s néju, with her).
  • This comes from Proto-Slavic prepositions such as *sъ(n) (with) (compare Ancient Greek σύν (sún) and Latin cum), that originally ended in -n and governed oblique cases. Since the prepositions and the pronouns occurred together so often, it was easy to lose track of which word the final -n belonged to, and so it was reinterpreted as part of the pronouns; compare Old English an, which was reinterpreted in the same way. Proto-Slavic *sъ(n) *jьmi became modern Russian с ни́ми (s ními), and this rule was extended to all prepositions governing any third-person pronoun.
  • Note that if the preposition does not directly govern её (jejó) (i.e., when её (jejó) is a possessive pronoun), then н- (n-) is not added: у её бра́та (u jejó bráta, at her brother’s); о её ма́тери (o jejó máteri, about her mother); в её ко́мнате (v jejó kómnate, in her room).
  • When there is another word separating a preposition and any oblique case of она́ (oná), then н- (n-) is not added: у само́й её (u samój jejó, with her herself).
