 === Pronouns ===
 Pronouns have separate subject and object forms:
-{|
+{| class="wikitable"
 |-
-| '''eo''', ||''I''; ||'''mi''', ||''me''
+! Subject !! English !! Object !! English
 |-
-|'''ty''', ||''you''; ||'''ti''', ||''you''
+| '''eo''' || ''I'' ||'''mi''' ||''me''
 |-
-|'''ys''', ||''he''; ||'''llo''', ||''him''
+|'''ty''' ||''you'' ||'''ti''' ||''you''
 |-
-|'''sa''', ||''she''; ||'''lla''', ||''her''
+|'''ys''' ||''he'' ||'''llo''' ||''him''
 |-
-|'''nu''', ||''we''; ||'''nu''', ||''us''
+|'''sa''' ||''she'' ||'''lla''' ||''her''

-Brithenig has two ways of saying you: '''ty''', '''thou''', and '''gw''', '''you'''. '''Ty''' is singular and used for addressing people that the speaker is familiar with, such as an immediate family member, a close friend, a child, an animal, or god. '''Gw''' is used as a singular when speaking to a stranger or a less familiar or more formal acquaintance. It is also used to address more than one person no matter the familiarity. Pronouns are subject to consonant mutation in the same way other words are. If '''ty''' or '''ti''' is mutated it is always written as '''dy''' to avoid confusion with the preposition '''di''', which has a different pronunciation. '''Fi''', the mutated form of '''mi''', becomes ''''i''' in the spoken language, especially after consonants.

 '''Sa''' is used to mean 'they' when 'they' is exclusively feminine. For 'it' use the form appropriate to the gender of the noun. The impersonal pronoun 'it' is always '''sa''': '''Sa es fel eidd''', ''It is nice today''.
