When taking a prefix or suffix, the clitic pronoun forms are used. For example, possessive pronouns/adjectives are formed by prefixing the relativizing particle to the clitic pronouns. The absolute pronouns can be used more or less interchangeable with the corresponding referential demonstratives (formed by reduplicating the clitic pronouns; see [[Kola#Demonstratives|demonstratives]]). | When taking a prefix or suffix, the clitic pronoun forms are used.

The impersonal can be used to form passives and pseudopassives - e.g. ቴደ ''téddä'' "one walks"; ቱልዪዙጘ ''tulyizúngä'' "one is cooking it; it is being cooked" (the latter meaning can also be expressed with the passive extension: ዪልዙጟ ''yilzúngwa'' "it is being cooked"). | |||
