Pronouns
Personal pronouns in Spanish have distinct forms according to whether they stand for a subject (nominative), a direct object (accusative), an indirect object (dative), or a reflexive object.
The personal pronoun "vos" is used in some areas of Latin America, particularly in Central America, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Chile, the state of Zulia in Venezuela, and the Andean regions of Colombia, Bolivia, Peru, and Ecuador.
The table below shows a list of personal pronouns from Peninsular (European) and Latin American Spanish.
| Number | Person | Nominative | Prepositional | Comitative | Accusative | Dative | Genitive |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Singular | 1st | yo | mí | conmigo | me | mío(s)/mía(s) | |
| 2nd | tú, vos | ti, vos | contigo, con vos | te | tuyo(s)/tuya(s) | ||
| 3rd | él/ella/ello, usted | él/ella/ello, usted, sí | con él/ella/ello, con usted, consigo | lo/la, se | le, se | suyo(s)/suya(s) | |
| Plural | 1st | nosotros/nosotras | con nosotros/nosotras | nos | nuestro(s)/nuestra(s) | ||

| 3rd | ellos/ellas, ustedes | ellos/ellas, ustedes, sí | con ellos/ellas, con ustedes, consigo | los/las, se | les, se | suyo(s)/suya(s) | |
Demonstrative pronouns
Spanish also has three groups of demonstrative pronouns, which are used to refer to particular nouns. An example in English would be 'Give me that chair' versus 'Give me this chair'.
Near the speaker ("this"): éste, ésta, esto, éstos, éstas
Near the listener ("that"): ése, ésa, eso, ésos, ésas
Far from both speaker and listener ("that (over there)"): aquél, aquélla, aquello, aquéllos, aquéllas
