Pronoun

Sie

1. (personal) you (addressing politely or formally one person or more) – with the verb conjugated by the third-person plural:

   Was möchten Sie, Frau Wagner? = What would you like to have, Mrs. Wagner?

Inflection

• Nominative: Sie
• accusative: Sie
• Dative: Ihnen
• Genitive: Ihrer

The genitive case Ihrer is more and more rarely used in modern German.

• The genitive case Ihrer does not express ownership, so it must not be mixed up with the possessive pronoun Ihr, which is declined by gender, singular/plural and case.

Derived terms

• siezen
