[edit] Usage notes

  • "Him" is used roughly like "himself" and "itself" in English. In these cases, it is used after a verb when there is another object in the sentence. For example, "Dy partij stelt him op it stânpunt fan it federalisme" more literally means "This party puts itself on the standpoint of federalism".
