Personal Pronouns in German

Please note, while learning a new language like German, it is best to not translate everything. Understanding the grammar, its rules, and the context of what we want to say and how we say it is very important. However, considering this is a textual medium, I may provide some translations to English for better understanding.

Here's a quick look at the personal pronouns in German/Deutsch.

Personalpronomen

1st person	singular	ich	I	-
2nd person	singular	du	you	informal
2nd person	singular	Sie	you	formal
3rd person	singular	er	he (M)	formal/informal
3rd person	singular	es	it (N)	formal/informal
3rd person	singular	sie	she (F)	formal/informal
1st person	plural	wir	we	-
2nd person	plural	ihr	you / you all	informal
2nd person	plural	Sie	you	formal
3rd person	plural	sie	they (M/F/N)	formal/informal

Notice how the 2nd person formal and 3rd person for plural is Sie & sie respectively? That's because when writing formally, the S will always be uppercase. The pronunciation stays the same, however, the conjugation of the verb being used will change based on 2nd/3rd person and singular/plural.

The 3rd person plural sie is used against the 3rd person singular er/es/sie.

I'd strongly advise against learning this by translating from English. I have only shared this for better understanding and context. The German language is very nuanced and a lot can get lost in translation.

If you already have an idea of the language, you might know that German has a lot of verbs. Each verb has its own set of conjugation when it comes to using them in a sentence.

Below is the conjugation for the verb sein which roughly translates to 'to be'.

Please note that I have also made the column for pronouns compact for better and quicker understanding.

Pronomen	Konjugation
ich	bin
du	bist
er / es / sie	ist
wir	sind
ihr	seid
sie / Sie	sind

The above translates to I am, you are, they are, he is, she is, it is, and so on.

Verbs and their conjugations are a very vast topic. However, most of the verbs follow a simple rule which I've explained in detail here - Verb Conjugation in German

Please note that the above rule will not be applicable for all verbs and as always there are exceptions.

Nominativ	Akkusativ	Dativ
ich	mich	mir
du	dich	dir
Sie	Sie	Ihnen
er	ihn	ihm
es	es	ihm
sie	sie	ihr
wir	uns	uns
ihr	euch	euch
Sie	Sie	Ihnen
sie	sie	ihnen
