The reflexive pronouns se has no Nominative case because it refers to the subject of the clause and can not be itself a subject. It is used in the third person only and has no distinguished forms for Singular and Plural. The oblique cases of the Personal pronouns are used in the 1st and 2nd persons, cf. the conjugation of the pronominal (reflexive) verbs:
amo me
amas te amat se |
I
love myself
thou love thyself he loves himself, she loves herself |
amamus nos
amatis vos amant se |
we
love ourselves
you love yourselves they love themselves |
The personal pronouns are used in ablative mainly with the prepositions ab (ablativus auctoris) and cum (ablativus sociativus); when used with cum they are put after the prepositions and are contracted with it, cf.:mecum with me;
tecum with you;
secum with himself / herself / themselves;
nobiscum with us;
vobiscum with you.Sometimes there are met reduplicated forms, most often sese and rarely meme, tete.
Postpositive particles of reinforcement, like –met, -te, -pte, are used in some casual forms of the personal pronouns, cf.:
egomet namely I;
semet namely himself…;
vosmet namely you;
mihipte namely to me.
