often used even for all-male and all-female groups.
The constructions above can mean either e.g. us two or two of us. However, there’s
a variation, if two of us stands for two out of a larger group of us (e.g. there are five
of us in total, and two of us should do something...). In such a case you can use
either:
dvoje nas G two of us, out of a larger group
dvoje od nas G (the same, but a bit more precise)
Of course, instead of nas, you can use vas or njih (stressed forms must be used) to
get various expressions:
njih G trojica three of them (all male)
vas G obje both of you (all female)
You can also use other quantity adverbs, and quantity adjectives, to quantify
personal pronouns. When you use neki and similar words with pronouns, the rules
change, you have to use od¨ + G:
nitko od nas none of us
jedan od nas one of us
netko od nas somebody of us
neki od nas some of us
mnogi od nas many of us
svatko od nas each of us
nekoliko nas several of us
mnogo nas many of us
dosta nas quite a few of us
puno nas a lot of us
svi mi all of us
Of course, you can use the pronoun oni and so on. The rule is: pronoun-like words
require od¨ + G, adverbs just G, while svi behaves like an adjective in such
expressions, and both words change.
