#prepositions

Thank you!

Hi! Your observation is very accurate, third person pronouns have two forms - with and without the initial н. The rule is simple and almost exceptionless:

Third-person pronouns (он, она, оно, они) get an initial н- when they directly follow a preposition. If there is no preposition → no н- needed. If there is a preposition → add н-.

No preposition → plain forms Genitive: Я его знаю. / Я её вижу. / Я их люблю. Accusative: Я его жду. / Я её ждал. / Я их встретил. Dative: Я ему сказал. / Я ей подарил. / Я им написал.

Preposition → н- forms Genitive: без него, у него, для него, вместо него, Accusative: за него, на него, про него, через него Dative: к нему, к ней, к ним Instrumental: с ним, с ней, с ними, перед ним, за ней, над ними Prepositional: о нём, при нём, в ней, на них

ID: Two drawings. In the first, a yellow hand sweeps several black dots away from a larger group of black dots, with a red arrow over the top of the hand, pointing in the direction of the smaller group. The second drawing is of a yellow person with their hands on a red box, stacked on a table. There is a red arrow that starts from the box and moves to the side, then turns to point down at the table. End ID.

Here we have an English version with one made with Instagram for the Japanese version.

Finally this one is an advertisement for Maritozzo.

When I have time I'll make a version of this and share it.
