As does English, the Danish pronominal system retains a distinction between subjective and oblique case. The subjective case form of pronouns is used when pronouns occur as grammatical subject of a sentence, and oblique forms are used for all non-subjective occurrences including accusative, dative, predicative, comparative and other types of constructions. The third person singular pronouns also distinguish between and animate masculine ("han" "he"), animate feminine ("hun" "she") forms, as well as inanimate neuter ("det" "it") and inanimate common gender ("den" "it").
