Personal Pronouns
PRONOUN: Personal PRONOUN
✓ Personal pronouns represent specific people or things.
✓ Personal pronouns are:
Singular |
Plural |
ես-I |
մենք-we |
դու-You |
դուք -You |
նա/ ինքը -he/she/it |
նրանք/ իրենք –theys |
✓ These pronouns are defined according to person category.
The first person defines the speaker (ես-I, մենք – we),
Second person defines the listener (դու-You (singular), դուք –You (plural),
Third person defines other people (նա/ ինքը - he/she/it, նրանք/ իրենք -they).
✓ Armenian personal pronouns do not distinguish gender in the third-person singular (as in the English he/she/it), but have two sets of pronouns in the third person. There are two ways to define the third person but getting ս, դ articles the pronoun can be used separately or along with the first and second person (ինքս//ես ինքս-myself, ինքդ//դու ինքդˇyourself). Ինքս, ինքդ forms do not have cases, but the pronoun ինքը has cases.
