Usage notes[edit]

  • Unlike most Spanish prepositions, entre governs the nominative and not the prepositional case when used with pronouns:
    entre yo y mi hermano ― between me and my brother
    entre tú y ellos ― between you and them
  • Because se does not exist in the nominative, however, the normal prepositional form sí is used instead:
    entre sí ― among themselves
    entre sí y sus amigos ― between himself and his friends
