In Continental Portuguese:

Ele viu-me.

(Ele viu-te.)

Ele viu-o.

Ele viu-a.

Eles riram-nos.

(Eles viram-vos.)

Nós vimo-los.    (See item 5, section

Nós vimo-las.    20, grammar summary.)

Brazilian usage favors the object pronoun before the verb, Continental Portuguese favors it after the verb. For morę in-formation on the position of object pronouns see section 20 of the grammar summary.
