There are just a few pronouns in Mandarin Chinese, and unlike many European languages, there
are no subject / verb agreements to worry about. Just a few simple rules tell you everything you
need to know about pronouns in Chinese.
Basic Pronouns
These are the pronouns of written Mandarin Chinese.
• I, me: wǒ: 我
• You: nǐ - 你
• You (formal): nín: 您
• He, Him: tā: 他
• She, Her: tā: 她
• It: tā: 它
You'll notice that there are two ways of saying "you." When speaking to elders or someone in
authority, it is more polite to address them formally with 您 (nín) instead of the less formal 你
(nǐ).
While there are six pronouns listed above in written Mandarin, in spoken Mandarin it boils down
to just three basic pronouns: I / me, you, he / she / it. This is because 他 / 她 / 它 are all
pronounced the same, tā.
Plurals
Plurals are formed by adding 們 (traditional form) / 们 (simplified form) at the end of a basic
pronoun. This character is pronounced "men." See below:
• We, Us: wǒ men: 我們 / 我们
• You (plural): nǐ men: 你們 / 你们
• They, Them: tā men: 他們 / 他们
Differentiating Gender
As discussed earlier, gender differentiating pronouns like "he", "she", and "it" all have the same
sound, tā, but different written characters.
In spoken Mandarin, differentiating between genders is a little less obvious. However, the
context of the sentence will usually tell you whether the speaker is referring to a man, a woman,
or a thing.
Reflexive Pronoun
Mandarin Chinese also has a reflexive pronoun 自己 (zì jǐ). This is used when both subject and
object are the same. For example:
Tā xǐ huàn tā zì jǐ
他喜欢他自己 / 他喜歡他自己
He likes himself.
自己 (zì jǐ) can also be used directly after a noun or pronoun to intensify the subject. For
example:
1
Wǒ zì jǐ xǐ huàn kàn shū.
我自己喜欢看书 / 我自己喜歡看書。
I, myself, like to read books.
