Pronunciation
Pronoun
oss
- us (objective case)
- Såg du oss där?
- Did you see us there?
- Såg du oss där?
- reflexive case of vi; compare ourselves
- Vi skulle vilja lära oss jonglera.

Usage notes
Note that some verbs have special senses when used reflexively. For example, do not confuse vi lär oss att... ("we learn to...") [reflexive] with de lär oss att... ("they teach us to...") and vi lär oss själva att... ("we teach ourselves to..."). Here, lär means teach(es) if it is not reflexive, but learn(s) if it is reflexive. Hence the need for the separate pronoun "oss själva" to be used when object and subject agree, but the verb nevertheless should not be used in the reflexive case.
