| Personal pronouns refer to people or things.

| '''Nominative (subject) pronouns'''
| |
| | |
| The dal’qörian ''nominative'' personal pronouns (the subject of the sentence or clause) are:
| |
|
| |
| {| border="1"
| |
| |+
| |
| |-
| |
| | '''binä
| |
| | ''I/I am''
| |
| |-
| |
| | '''diö'''
| |
| | ''you/you are''
| |
| |-
| |
| | '''mæ'''
| |
| | ''he/he is''
| |
| |-
| |
| | '''sia'''
| |
| | ''she/she is''
| |
| |-
| |
| | '''éren'''
| |
| | ''they/they''
| |
| |-
| |
| | '''tiÞ'''
| |
| | ''it/it is''
| |
| |-
| |
| | '''ména'''
| |
| | ''we/we are''
| |
| |}
| |
| | |
| | |
| There are also two impersonal pronouns in dal'qörian: '''minä'''-''you/one'' and '''minäla'''-''they'', and these are used when referring to people in general, the subjunctive mood, and to equate the use of the passive tense in English (see '''Verbs'''):
| |
|
| |
| * '''am iáda, minä näocr nörasägrax dal'qörian!''' ''One cannot learn dal'qörian in a day!
| |
| | |
| * '''minäla gä’escanostr di abödä,, qösra tiÞ gé’stæméras'''. ''The house was demolished because it was dangerous.'' (lit: ''They demolished the house, because it was unsafe'').
| |
|
| |
| As you can see, the subject pronouns can also give us the meaning of the present tense inflections of the verb to be: am, are, is. In dal'qörian, one can assume that am/are/is can always be taken as read when a noun or pronoun is:
| |
| | |
| Followed by a present participle (a verb with the ia inflection)
| |
| Followed by an uninflected adjective (including modifying words such as very/extremely)
| |
| | |
| am/are/is are not to be taken as read when a noun or pronoun is:
| |
| | |
| Followed by a modal verb (see Modals 6.11)
| |
| Followed by the infinitive of a verb (a verb that ends in r)
| |
| Followed by the imperfect and perfect past tense of a verb
| |
| Followed by an inflected adjective
| |
| | |
| examples:
| |
|
| |
| • binä göria nöra.
| |
| • di gadörajel tädø.
| |
| • dörac iáda, ména gä’vecsár!
| |
| • öcra tirimiÞ, sia gé’námaroqu disiri.
| |
| • vonériáda, Gáré recévria ni Bemöa.
| |
| • stæ’irønet, vonéri sol, eviár binä abödä .
| |
|
| |
| • éren voltir ni didérämös.
