Pronouns

Personal pronouns

Possessive pronouns

mi I mia my
vi you via your
ŝi she ŝia her
li he lia his
ĝi it ĝia its
ni we nia our
ili they ilia their
oni one onia one's
si himself / herself / itself / themselves sia his / her / its / their own

When a personal pronoun is an object, it takes on the ending of -n.
Mi amas vin. - I love you
Ili vidas ĝin. - They see it

The possessive pronouns can have the plural ending of -j and the object ending of -n.
Ŝi amas mian fraton. - She loves my brother
Mi vidas viajn domojn. - I see your houses

Si

Si is a reflexive pronoun, used with ŝi, li, ĝi, ili, oni or words which can be substituted for them. For example, to show an action to itself and not to another entity. NEVER use it with mi, vi, or ni to show a reflexive action.
Mi pensas pri mi. - I think about myself
Vi pensas pri vi. - You think about yourself
Li pensas pri li. - He thinks about him
Li pensas pri si. - He thinks about himself

Oni

Oni is an indefinite pronoun, used when you want to talk about any person, many people or some undefined people, or a person whose identity you don't want to reveal, etc. Oni is normally singular, but can also be plural. Oni does not indicate gender.
Oni pensas pri si mem. - One thinks about oneself.
