A pronoun is a word that is a substitute for a noun (for example: αυτος ["he"] may replace the noun `ο ανθρωπος ["the man"]).

Interrogative and Indefinitive Pronouns
The words why and which and what and who when used as questions, are interrogative pronouns.
The words something and someone are indefinite pronouns.
Forms
If the ι has an accent on it, then the word is an interrogative pronoun. For example τίς means who or what. If the ι does not have an accent on it, then the word is an indefinite pronoun. For example τις means someone or something.
The masculine and feminine forms of the indefinite and interrogative pronoun are the same, and they decline as follows:
- τις (Nom, Sing)
- τινος (Gen, Sing)
- τινι (Dat, Sing)
- τινα (Acc, Sing)
- τινες (Nom, Plu)
- τινων (Gen, Plu)
- τισιν (Dat, Plu)
- τινας (Acc, Plu)
Neuter forms of the indefinite and interrogative pronoun decline as follwows:
- τι
- τινος
- τινι
- τι
- τινα
- τινων
- τισιν
- τινα
Relative pronouns
The words who and that and which when linking an antecedent to a new clause, are called relative pronouns.
Relative pronouns can be noted easily because they all have a rough breathing mark, and an accent.
