4. Notes – Personal Pronouns
• The ablative + cum = mecum, tecum,secum
“se” is reflexive and cannot be translated on its own –
it refers to the subject of the verb and agrees with it .
This can be confusing in complex sentences with more than
one clause
• Note the genitive & dative singular endings of “is,ea,id”
eius (gen)
ei (dat)

Note that they agree with the gender & case of the
thing possessed, not the possessor
suos or sua on its own can mean “his men”, “their
property”
