Etymology 1
From Old High German siu, from Proto-West Germanic *s?, from Proto-Germanic *s?. Cognate with Gothic ???????? (si) and Old English s?o (“that one (f.)”).
Pronoun
sie f
- she
- it (when the object/article/thing/animal etc., referred to, is feminine (die))
Declension
- The genitive case ihrer is more and more rarely used in modern German.
- While the genitive of personal pronouns does express ownership, it must not be confused with possessive pronouns. While possessive pronouns such as ihr are put in front of the noun they relate to and follow the inflection rules of adjectives, the genitive form of personal pronouns has only one form, which is not further inflected. Additionally, personal pronouns in the genitive can be put after the word they relate to.
Related terms
- hatse (hat + -se)
Etymology 2
From Old High German sie (masculine plural), sio (feminine plural), siu (neuter plural).
Pronoun
sie pl
- they; them
Declension
Usage notes
- In the colloquial speech of some areas, this pronoun is used only enclitically after a verb, as an ending /z?/. E.g. hamse, könnse. Stressed instances are replaced with the demonstrative pronoun die. This reflects a similar development for es/das.
