Pronoun
er
- (personal pronoun) Er is an object pronoun used instead of hem, haar, het, or hen when such pronoun would be the complement of a preposition (which is not grammatically wrong), in which case er becomes the complement of a postposition. If er is followed immediately by its postposition, the two words can merge to form a pronominal adverb (see the following list of "derived terms").
- Ik heb ermee gewerkt. — I have worked with it.
- Je kunt er de bergen boven zien. — You can see the mountains above it.

Inflection
- Nominative: er
- Accusative: ihn
- Dative: ihm
- Genitive: seiner
The genitive case seiner is more and more rarely used in modern German.
- The genitive case seiner does not express ownership, so one must not mix it up with the possessive pronoun sein, which is declined by gender, singular/plural and case.
