Personal Pronouns
The personal pronouns are:
mi : I, me
bo : you
e : he, him, she, her, it
nos : we, us
boso : you (plural)
nan : they, them
These pronouns remain unchanged regardless of whether they are the subject or object of a verb (unlike their English counterparts). Some examples:
Mi ta tende bo.
I hear you.
Bo ta tende mi?
Do you hear me?
VARIANTS: Sometimes ami is used in place of mi and abo sometimes substitutes for bo. E becomes el when it appears before the past tense indicator a.
IMPORTANT: It is considered rude to use bo when speaking to strangers and people you barely know. Rather than bo you should use Señor or Meneer (equivalent to English "sir") or Señora (equivalent to "Ma'am"). Alternatively, use the other person's name.
The possessive pronouns are:
mi : my
bo : your
su : his, her, its
nos : our
boso : your (plural)
nan : their
di mi : my
di bo : your
di dje : his, her, its
di nos : our
di boso : your (plural)
di nan : their
