Subject pronouns indicate who or what performs the verb's action. They come in paired forms: Isolated ('''Izolé''') and Enclitic ('''Mottasèl'''), with no grammatical difference and are used the same way. Enclitic forms are primarily used when the following word begins with a vowel, '''y''', or '''w'''. | |||
* '''M''''a kompléti lé wazifé d'aujourdu. "I've completed today's tasks." | |||
* '''Hin''' té domi à exakt 23 ör "They slept at exactly 11ː00 pm." | |||
Object pronouns indicate the direct object of a transitive verb (similar to Englishː "me", "you," "him", etc.) If an object pronoun is used, then it is placed in between the subject & the verb, forming an SOV sentence. Otherwise, it remains SVO. | |||
