Pronoun
fi-pron

1. personal|lang=fi they i|only of people.

Declension
Irregular. The comitative and instructive forms don't exist; the abessive is hardly used.
In addition to the standard set of cases, he and other personal pronouns have a specific accusative form; heidät.

Usage notes
In standard Finnish, he can practically never be omitted, despite the verb showing both the person and the number. (cf. the usage of hän#Finnish|hän, "she" / "he")
