Object Pronouns

Once you start saying things like "Marcos called Luana" twice in a row, you need pronouns to replace the names. Portuguese has two flavours: direct (the person/thing the verb acts on) and indirect (the person you're giving/saying something to).

Person	Direct	Indirect
me	me	me
you (sg)	te / o, a	te / lhe
him / it	o	lhe
her / it	a	lhe
us	nos	nos
you (pl) / them	os, as	lhes

In everyday Brazilian the pronoun goes before the verb: "Eu te vejo amanhã" (I'll see you tomorrow). The textbook "vejo-te" feels stiff in Brazil.
