Introduction
Zaimki [pronouns] so besede, ki jih uporabljamo zato, da bi se izognili ponavljanju samostalnikov {glej Zaimki – Osebek, stopnja.
Oziralne zaimke [relative pronouns] uporabljamo pri začenjanju oziralnih stavkov. Na ljudi in stvari se nanašajo tako, da zamenjajo osebek, izražen v glavnem stavku; tako ga ni potrebno ponoviti v oziralnem stavku {glej Zaimki – Oziralni, stopnja A1}.
Form
Oziralna zaimka whom in whose postavljamo za samostalniki.
