== | ==Pronouns== | ||
Pronouns are words that replace nouns in sentences, serving to avoid repetition. They are categorised into four distinct types: Personal pronouns '''(Dâmir Chaksi)''', which refer to specific individuals; Demonstrative pronouns '''(Dâmir Ichâré)''', used to indicate specific entities or objects; Interrogative pronouns '''(Dâmir Porsech)''', which are employed to ask questions; and Relative pronouns '''(Dâmir Maouçool)''', which introduce relative clauses and provide additional information about a noun. | |||
=== Personal Pronouns === | |||
Personal pronouns are linguistic elements that serve to distinguish between deictic references to participants in an event, typically categorized into three groups: the speaker (first person) ('''Parlânt'''), the addressee (second person) ('''Dêtinatär'''), and others (third person) ('''Nùqtâ'''). Zinou identifies six subsets of personal pronouns: subject ('''Àmel'''), object ('''Girandé'''), possessive ('''Malik'''), disjunctive ('''Nettisàl'''), as well as reflexive ('''Réfléchi''') and intensive ('''Taôkidee''') forms. | |||
