Alternative forms

Etymology

Inherited from Old East Slavic онъ (onŭ), from Proto-Slavic *onъ.

Pronunciation

Pronoun

он (on) (feminine counterpart она́, neuter counterpart оно́)

  1. third-person masculine singular pronoun: he, it.

Usage notes

  • Whenever a preposition stands immediately before any of the oblique cases of the third-person pronoun (singular or plural) and directly governs it, then an н- (n-) must be prefixed to the pronoun: от него́ (ot nevó, from him); на нём (na njom, on him); у него́ (u nevó, he has); к нему́ (k nemú, to him); с ним (s nim, with him).
  • This comes from Proto-Slavic prepositions such as *sъ(n) (with) (compare Ancient Greek σύν (sún) and Latin cum), that originally ended in -n and governed oblique cases. Since the prepositions and the pronouns occurred together so often, it was easy to lose track of which word the final -n belonged to, and so it was reinterpreted as part of the pronouns; compare Old English an, which was reinterpreted in the same way. Proto-Slavic *sъ(n) *jьmi became modern Russian с ни́ми (s ními), and this rule was extended to all prepositions governing any third-person pronoun.
  • Note that if the preposition does not directly govern его́ (jevó) (i.e., when его́ (jevó) is a possessive pronoun), then н- (n-) is not added: у его́ бра́та (u jevó bráta, at his brother's); от его́ ма́тери (ot jevó máteri, from his mother); в его́ ко́мнате (v jevó kómnate, in his room).
  • When there is another word separating a preposition and any oblique case of он (on), then н- (n-) is not added: у самого́ его́ (u samovó jevó, with him himself).
