Him, her, them: short object pronouns

Pronouns used as objects (me, you, him) have long and short forms. The long forms мен, теб, него, нея, нас, вас, тях are for emphasis or after a preposition (за теб, for you). Ordinary sentences use the short forms:

• ме (me), те (you), го (him, it), я (her, it)
• ни (us), ви (you, plural or polite), ги (them)

A short form never starts a sentence. When anything comes before the verb (a subject, a question word, a time word, не or ще), it stands right before the verb: Аз я познавам. Вчера го срещнах. Ще те чакам. When the verb opens the sentence, it follows the verb: Обичам те. If that verb is followed by ли, the short form comes after ли: Чуваш ли ме?
