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.

Pronoun Forms

The accusative is the form for the person an action is done to, the direct object (me in 'they love me', you in 'nice to meet you').
