Usage notes
- Unlike most Spanish prepositions, entre governs the nominative and not the prepositional case when used with pronouns:
- entre yo y mi hermano ― between me and my brother
- entre tú y ellos ― between you and them
- Because se does not exist in the nominative, however, the normal prepositional form sí is used instead:
- entre sí ― among themselves
- entre sí mismo y sus amigos ― between himself and his friends
