Cultural Note
'Ele' (he) and 'ela' (she) also serve as stressed object pronouns after prepositions: 'para ele' (for him), 'com ela' (with her). In Brazilian Portuguese, 'ele/ela' is increasingly used as a direct object in casual speech ('Eu vi ele' instead of the formal 'Eu o vi'), though this is considered informal.
