Personal Pronouns with Marathi Meaning and Examples

What is a Pronoun?
A Pronoun is a word used instead of a noun. It helps us avoid repeating the same noun again and again.

Rahul is a student. He studies English every day.

The pronoun used as the subject or doer of an action is called the Nominative Case.
