German personal pronouns

In German, the use of pronouns depends on the case in which they appear in a sentence. To begin with, it’s worth focusing on the nominative (“Nominativ”) and accusative (“Akkusativ”) cases, as they are the most commonly used in everyday communication.

The nominative answers the questions who? what? and is most often used as the subject of a sentence.

Difference Between “sie” and “Sie”

One common challenge for German learners is distinguishing between the pronouns “sie” and “Sie.” The lowercase “sie” means “she,” “they,” or “it” depending on the context, while the uppercase “Sie” refers to the formal “you” (singular and plural). It’s important to pay attention to the context and the correct capitalization, as it changes the meaning of the sentence.
