Introduction to pronouns:
Pronouns are words or phrases that are substituted for nouns that refer back to the antecedent noun. For more information on pronouns, visit the Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronoun
For now, we are only going to focus on some basic types of pronouns, starting with personal pronouns.
Personal pronouns:
Personal pronouns take the place of people or things, such as...
Ze (I / Me)
Dun (You)
Ríe (He / Him)
Tíe (She / Her)
Üb (It)
Rág (We)
Keré (They)
Keru (Them)
(ex.) Jadím kotreŋot Lisa. ("James knows Lisa.") This phrase could be written using pronouns as Ríe kotreŋot tíe. ("He knows her.")
---
Objective pronouns:
Objective pronouns should be used when refering to a person or thing that is the object in the sentence.
(ex.) Rág kijarrai se otómocel. ("We help the kids.") This can also be written as Rág kijarrai keru. ("We help them.")
---
Possesive pronouns:
Possessive pronouns are used to indicate who an object belongs to, using words such as...
Zen (My / Mine)
Medu (Your / Yours)
Ríj (His)
Tíj (Hers)
Rágt (Our / Ours)
Kerég (Their / Theirs)
(ex.) Él fadárrot am se otómocel. ("That belongs to the kids.") Using a possesive pronoun, you would write this sentence as Él mano kerég. ("That is theirs.")
