N.B.--These pronouns are left understood when no emphasis is required or where no ambiguity is possible, as-- (Yo) compro las telas: I buy the cloths. (El) gira las letras y firma las cartas: He draws the bills and signs the letters. (Ella) ha tenido una entrevista con su abogado: She has had an interview with her barrister, lawyer or solicitor. But-- Yo he comprado la partida de ferreteria y quincalla y no V.: _I_ have bought the lot of ironware and small ware and not _you_. =Object Pronouns=. These are divided into two classes--1. =Disjunctive=, viz., following a preposition-- Mi (me) Nosotros-as (us) Ti (thee) Vosotros-as (you) El (him, it, _m._) Ellos-as (them) Ella (her, it, _f._) Ello (_neuter_) (it, referring to a whole statement) V. (you, sing.) Vs. (you, pl.) EXAMPLES-- Ellos hablan de mi: They speak of me. Nosotros trabajamos para el: We work for him. Ella confia en ti, en V.: She trusts thee, you. V. se declara contra ellos: You declare against them. 2. =Conjunctive=, viz., _direct_ or _indirect object_ of verb (without a preposition). El me[73] ama (he loves me) El nos ama (he loves us) El te ama (he loves thee) El os ama (he loves you) El lo _or_ le ama (he loves El los ama (he loves them, him, it, _m._) _m._) El la ama (he loves her, El las ama (he loves them, or it, _f._) _f._) [Footnote 73: N.B.--In the conjunctive form the 1st and 2nd persons are the same for both direct and indirect objects, but the 3rd pers. differs.]
