Learning the Croatian Pronouns is very important because its structure is used in every day conversation. The more you practice the subject, the closer you get to mastering the Croatian language. But first we need to know what the role of Pronouns is in the structure of the grammar in Croatian.
Croatian pronouns include personal pronouns (refer to the persons speaking, the persons spoken to, or the persons or things spoken about), indefinite pronouns, relative pronouns (connect parts of sentences) and reciprocal or reflexive pronouns (in which the object of a verb is being acted on by verb's subject). Here are some examples:
English Pronouns | Croatian Pronouns |

I | Ja |
you | ti (+ vi: as 2. Person Pl.) |
