How to use
The third-person singular feminine pronoun 'ona' (she) is often omitted in Polish when it is the subject, as verb endings indicate the gender and person (e.g., 'napisała' — she wrote). Its declension is irregular: after prepositions, it has the initial 'n-' ('dla niej', 'z nią'). Without prepositions, accusative is 'ją', and genitive is 'jej'.
