Reciprocal pronouns are used to indicate a mutual relationship or action between the subjects of the sentence. The primary reciprocal pronoun in Serbian is "jedan drugog" (one another) or "jedan drugome" (each other). These pronouns are used to express actions that two or more subjects perform mutually.

Usage and Examples

1. Jedan drugog (one another):

   • Nominative: "Oni se vole jedan drugog." (They love one another.)
   • Accusative: "Gledali su jedan drugog." (They were looking at one another.)
   • Genitive: "Bojali su se jedan drugog." (They were afraid of one another.)
   • Dative: "Pomagali su jedan drugome." (They helped one another.)
   • Instrumental: "Razgovarali su jedan s drugim." (They talked with one another.)
   • Locative: "Pričali su o jedan drugome." (They talked about one another.)

2. Jedan drugome (each other):

   • This form is often used interchangeably with "jedan drugog" but is more common in the dative case.
   • Example: "Pisali su jedan drugome." (They wrote to each other.)

Reflexive Pronouns

In some contexts, reflexive pronouns can also imply a reciprocal action, especially when used with plural subjects. For example:

• "Oni se vole." (They love each other.)
• "Oni se pomažu." (They help each other.)
