Verse:Irta/Judeo-Mandarin: Difference between revisions

Line 491:

** ''To șni ăg îth bămeșăch ăn Hanîcă '''e'''.'' 'We eat it during Hanukkah.'

* copular pronouns (the forms used as copulas, including in cleft constructions); see the section on the copula

** '''''Șe''' ă pŗivrav gîni e.'' 'He's our chief rabbi.'

** '''''Șe''' ăm pŗivrav gîni e.'' 'He's our chief rabbi.'

All of these forms have emphatic counterparts: mișă, t(h)üsă, (ș)eșăn, (ș)ișă, șni, (ș)îvșă, (ș)îdsăn. These are essentially the "default" independent forms. These are used to address someone: ''Tüsă!''/''Îvșă!'' 'You!'. Expressions for 'only', 'except' and 'also' also require emphatic pronouns: אן אף תּוּסא, בּרוֹתּוֹס ''Ăn af tüsă, Brutus?'' 'Et tu, Brute?' To emphasize ''șni'' 'we' you have to use ''feyn'' after it (șni itself comes from the emphatic form ''*siňə'').
