ABSTRACT

In Yiddish, pronouns decline in the same three grammatical cases as nouns: nominative, accusative and dative. All pronouns that are subjects of conjugated verbs (doers of the action) are in the nominative case. When a pronoun is not the subject of the verb, it appears in a different forms: a pronoun as the direct object appears in the accusative case, and a pronoun that is governed by a preposition or an indirect object appears in the dative case.
