Pronouns: Accusative Case — Polish Grammar

When a pronoun is the direct object of a verb (the person or thing receiving the action), it takes the Accusative form. Most personal pronouns have two variants: a stressed (long) form used for emphasis or after prepositions, and an unstressed (short) form for neutral speech.
