Usage notes
  • Unlike most Spanish prepositions, entre governs the nominative and not the prepositional case when used with pronouns:
entre yo y mi hermano ― between me and my brother
entre tú y ellos ― between you and them
  • Because se does not exist in the nominative, however, the normal prepositional form sí is used instead:
entre sí ― among themselves
entre sí mismo y sus amigos ― between himself and his friends
