¹ The disjunctive (tonic) forms are also used after an explicit preposition (de/d’,à,pour,chez,dans,vers,sur,sous, ...), instead the accusative, dative, genitive, locative, or reflexive forms, where a preposition is implied.
²Il is also used as an impersonal nominative-only pronoun.
³On can also function as a first person plural (although agreeing with third person singular verb forms).
⁴ The nominal indeterminate formce (demonstrative) can also be used with the auxiliary verbêtre as a plural, instead of the proximal or distal gendered forms.
⁵ The reflexive third person singular forms (se ors’) for accusative or dative are also used as third person plural reflexive.
⁶Vous is also used as the polite singular form, in which case the plural disjunctive tonicvous-mêmes becomes singularvous-même.
⁷Ils,eux andeux-mêmes are also used when a group has a mixture of masculine and feminine members.

¹	Formal.

³	Archaic.
⁴	Obsolete.
⁵	Grammatically third person forms used semantically in the second person as a formal or polite way of addressing someone (with the first letter frequently capitalised as a sign of respect, and to distinguish them from third person subjects). Unlike the singular forms, the plural forms are mostly antiquated terms of formal address in the modern language, and second person plural pronouns are almost always used instead.
⁶	Also used as indefinite pronoun meaning “one”, and to form the passive.
⁷	Formal (capitalisation optional); in many regions, can refer to just one person (compare with Frenchvous).
⁸	Traditional grammars still indicate the formsegli (animate),ello /ella (animate),esso /essa and their plurals as the nominative forms of the third person pronouns; outside of very formal or archaizing contexts, all such forms have been replaced by the obliqueslui,lei,loro.
⁹	Forms used when followed by a third-person direct object proclitic (lo,la,li,le, orne).
¹⁰	Used after verbs.
¹¹	Unstressed forms, stand alone forms are found proclitically (except dativeloro /Loro), others enclitically (-mi,-ti, etc.).
¹²	Disjunctive, emphatic oblique forms used as direct objects placed after verbs, in exclamations, along prepositions (prepositional) and some adverbs (come,quanto, etc.); also used witha to create alternative emphatic dative forms.

[edit]

lui

genitive/dative article for proper names designating people that morphologically don't permit a suffix
Casalui Carmen.
Carmen's house.
Asta nu-i placelui Bogdan.
Bogdan doesn't like this.

Usage notes

[edit]

Whereas singular masculine proper names always form the genitive and dative using the preposedlui, feminine ones only do so when the specific name doesn't have a genitive/dative form itself:casa lui Carmen butcasaMariei. This rule is ignored by many in informal situations andlui is used with feminine names either way.
