LESSON IX.


LIMITATION OF THE THIRD PERSONAL PRONOUN.

42. Since there is a special reflexive pronoun of the third person, the
third personal pronouns, "li", "sxi", "gxi", "ili", when used otherwise
than as subjects, never refer to the subject of the verb, but always to
some other person or thing:

La knabo lauxdas lin, the boy praises him (another person).
Sxi donas pomojn al sxi, she gives apples to her (to another person).
La birdo vidis gxin, the bird saw it (something else than the bird).
La knaboj kasxis ilin, the boys hid them (other persons or things).
Ili trovis ilin apud si,
they found them (other persons or things) near them(selves).
La birdoj flugis al ili, the birds flew to them.
