me | to me |
te | to you – singular – familiar |
lhe | to you | him | her | it singular – formal |
nos | to us |

Ele comprou-me um carro novo.
He bought me a new car.
A Rosa escreveu-te uma carta.
Rose wrote you a letter.
Eu mandei-lhe uma revista.

A Rosa não te escreveu uma carta.
Rose did not write you a letter.
Eu não lhe mandei uma revista.
I did not send him a magazine.
