Usage notes [edit]
- Whenever a preposition stands immediately before any of the oblique cases of the third-person pronoun (singular or plural) and directly governs it, then an н- is prefixed to the pronoun: от неё (ot nejó, from her), на ней (na nej, on her), у неё (u nejó, she has), к ней (k nej, to her), с нею (s néju, with her).
- The explanation for the н-prothesis is that, originally, some Russian prepositions ended in the letter -н: сън (sŭn, “with”...cf. Greek σύν, Latin cum). Eventually, the final н of these prepositions migrated across to the pronoun, so that вън её became modern в неё, and then this was extended to include all prepositions when governing any third-person pronoun.
- Note that if the preposition does not directly govern её (i.e., when её is a possessive pronoun), then the н- is not inserted: у её брата (u jejó bráta, at her brother’s), о её матери (o jejó máteri, about her mother), в её комнате (v jejó kómnate, in her room).
- When there is another word separating a preposition and any oblique case of она, the н- is not added: у самой её (u samój jejó, with her herself).
