Etymology 1
Inherited from Proto-Slavic *ona.
Pronunciation
Pronoun
она́ • (oná) (masculine counterpart он, neuter counterpart оно́)
- she, it (third-person feminine singular pronoun)
- Её нет до́ма (genitive) ― Jejó net dóma ― She’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”).
