Objective pronouns are used when the person being refered to is the “receiver” of an action.
Below is a description of the equivalent subjective pronouns in pidgin
- Me: Me
- You (singular): You
- You (plural): Una
- Him / Her / It: Am
- Us: Us

While you can use he/she in pidgin, “him” and “her” usually sound out of place in pidgin.
