Object pronouns: mig, dig, honom, henne, oss, er, dem

When a pronoun is the object of a verb or comes after a preposition (på, med, till, hos, av…), Swedish uses a special object form, just like English I → me:

• jag → mig, du → dig
• han → honom, hon → henne
• vi → oss, ni → er
• de → dem

Examples: Jag ser honom. (I see him.) Vi väntar på er. (We are waiting for you.) Kan du hjälpa mig? (Can you help me?)

Mig and dig are pronounced mej and dej, and these spellings are also accepted in informal writing. Dem is pronounced 'dom' in everyday speech, but always write dem.
