<h3>Pronominal Subject Prefixes</h3> | |||
Instead of using pronouns to indicate subject, Antarctican uses prefixes on verbs. Which prefix is used depends on the tense of the verb (normally unmarked). They do not inflect for number. They are listed in the table below: | |||

| 2PS || ka || ya || yu | |||

|} | |||
Note that, for habitual actions in the present, the past tense is used. Also the present tense is used for imminent actions in the future (where English might use "about to"). | |||
