These terms double as possessive pronouns.
1. Strong or emphatic personal pronouns are used to emphasise and are pronounced with greater stress; they can be used independently of a verb or other word.
2. Weak or clitic personal pronouns are monosyllabic; they are dependent upon another word.
3. In colloquial speech, nominative forms may lose their initial ε; the use of an apostrophe in the written form is optional; e.g. ήρθα γώ (írtha , I came).
4. Accusative forms lose their initial ε when following από (apó) or για (gia); no apostrophe is used. The plural forms become monosyllabic and therefore lose the accent; e.g. για μας (gia mas, for us).
5. The final ν is optional, often being used before a following vowel.
6. τις (tis) is used before a verb, and τες (tes) after a verb; e.g. Αν τις δεις, χαιρέτα τες. (An tis deis, chairéta tes., If you see them, greet them.)
