Lesson 3 - Pronouns
Pronouns are words that replace nouns.
The basic pronouns in Somish are:
je
|
I,
me |
| du |
you |
| hen |
he,
she, him, her |
| de |
it |
| ma |
one |
je
ela du. du ela je.
I
love you. You love me.
Note that there is no gender distinction. hen
is used to refer to both males and females.
As with regular nouns, just add n
to make a plural pronoun.
jen
|
we,
us |
| dun |
you
(pl) |
| henen |
they,
them (animate) |
| den |
they,
them (inanimate) |
Since ma
is a general pronoun, used when the subject is not specified,
it is potentially singular or plural.
The possessive pronouns are formed regularly by adding the suffix
sa
(which means of).
jesa
|
my,
mine
|
| dusa |
your,
yours |
| hensa |
his,
her, hers |
| desa |
its |
| masa |
one's |
| |
|
| jensa |
our,
ours |
| dunsa |
your,
yours (pl) |
| henensa |
their,
theirs (animate) |
| densa |
their,
theirs (inanimate) |
