Sec. 98.) 3. /Reflexive pronouns\, used in the predicate to refer back to the subject; as, _he saw himself_. (Cf. Sec. 281.) 4. /Intensive pronouns\, used to emphasize a noun or pronoun; as, _I myself saw it_. (Cf. Sec. 285.) 5. /Demonstrative pronouns\, which point out persons or things; as, /is\, _this, that_. (Cf. Sec. 112.) 6. /Relative pronouns\, which connect a subordinate adjective clause with an antecedent; as, /qui\, _who_. (Cf. Sec. 220.) 7. /Interrogative pronouns\, which ask a question; as, /quis\, _who?_ (Cf. Sec. 225.) 8. /Indefinite pronouns\, which point out indefinitely; as, _some one, any one, some, certain ones_, etc. (Cf. Sec. 296.) _279._ The demonstrative pronoun /is\, /ea\, /id\, as we learned in Sec. 115, is regularly used as the personal pronoun of the third person (_he_, _she_, _it_, _they_, etc.). _280._ The personal pronouns of the first person are /ego\, _I_; /no:s\, _we_; of the second person, /tu:\, _thou_ or _you_; /vo:s\, _ye_ or _you_. They are declined as follows: SINGULAR FIRST PERSON SECOND PERSON Nom. ego, _I_ tu:, _you_ Gen. mei:, _of me_ tui:, _of you_ Dat. mihi, _to_ or _for me_ tibi, _to_ or _for you_ Acc. me:, _me_ te:, _you_ Abl. me:, _with, from_, etc., _me_ te:, _with, from_, etc., _you_ PLURAL Nom. no:s, _we_ vo:s, _you_ Gen. nostrum or nostri:, _of us_ vestrum or vestri:, _of you_ Dat. no:bi:s, _to_ or _for us_ vo:bi:s, _to_ or _for you_ Acc. no:s, _us_ vo:s, _you_ Abl. no:bi:s, _with, from_, vo:bi:s, _with, from_, etc., _us_ etc., _you_ 1. The personal pronouns are not used in the nominative excepting for emphasis or contrast. _281._ The Reflexive Pronouns. 1. The personal pronouns /ego\ and /tu:\ may be used in the predicate as reflexives; as, video me, _I see myself_ videmus nos, _we see ourselves_ vides te, _you see yourself_ videtis vos, _you see yourselves_ 2. The reflexive pronoun of the third person (_himself, herself, itself, themselves_) has a special form, used only in these senses, and declined alike in the singular and plural.
