Ancient Greek language. Pronoun

Pronouns indicate a person, object, or attribute without naming them. Therefore, unlike other words (full-valued), they do not have their own content, but change it depending on the setting, situation and the person who uses them to speak. With the help of negative particles, pronouns become negative ( nobody, nothing).

Pronouns are personal ( me, we etc., of which gender differs only in the 3rd person – he she it); possessive ( my, our, yours, yours etc.); index ( this that etc.); interrogative ( who, what, whose, which, etc..); relative - these are the same interrogatives in form, but they are not used to indicate a question ( who's come?), and for connections between parts of a complex sentence ( someone has come who wants to see you). There are attributive pronouns ( himself, everyone, everyone), as well as returnable ( myself). All these features are characteristic of both the Russian and Greek languages.

When declension of personal pronouns in Russian, their forms are formed from different stems ( I - me, we - us, you - you - by you, you - you). This phenomenon is called suppletivism. For Greek personal pronouns it is also characteristic as a sign of archaic forms in declension.
