Personal pronouns refer to people or things.
[[Category:Dalcurian]]
 
'''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 carry 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:
 
ː Followed by a present participle (a verb with the ia inflection)<BR/>ːFollowed 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:
 
ː Followed by a modal verb (see '''Verbs-''Modals''''')<BR/>ːFollowed by the infinitive of a verb (a verb that ends in '''r''')<BR/>ːFollowed by the imperfect and perfect past tense of a verb<BR/>ːFollowed by an inflected adjective
 
examples:
 
* '''binä göria nöra'''. ''I am going now.'' 
 
* '''di gadörajel tädø'''. ''The dogs are tired.''
 
* '''dörac iáda, ména gä’vecsár!''' ''We argued all day!'' 
 
* '''öcra tirimiÞ, sia gé’námaroqu disiri'''. ''She was very depressed for a long time.''
 
* '''iáda, Gáré recévria ni Bemöa'''. ''Gary is getting a BMW today.''
 
* '''stæ’irønet, vonéri sol, eviár binä abödä'''. ''I rarely get home before 6.''
 
* '''éren voltir ni didérämös'''.  ''They want a drink.''
