Pronunciation

IPA(key): (Central, Balearic, Valencia) [i]
Homophone: i
Rhymes: -i

Pronoun

hi (enclitic and proclitic)

represents a place associated with the action described by the verb, unless the place would be introduced by the preposition de
there (in constructions such as "there is", "there are", etc.: see haver-hi)
replaces an adverb (or adverbial phrase) describing the manner, instrument or association of an action
replaces a phrase introduced by any preposition except de (most commonly a or en)
replaces an indefinite noun or an adjective which is the predicate of a verb other than ésser, esdevenir, estar or semblar
(Central) in combination with other object pronouns, the third-person singular indirect object pronoun ("to him", "to her", "to it")

Usage notes

When more than one object pronoun is associated with a given verb, hi is always the last in the group.
Hi and ho cannot be used together with the same verb, nor can two his be used together.
It is sometimes stated that hi is never used to replace a complement beginning with de. This is not completely accurate, as hi can replace adverbial phrases such as de pressa, de sobte, etc.
