''Ditt'' and ''di'' are used less often than "this" and "that" in English. | |||
The determiners ''all'' and ''somm'' cannot be followed by a singular countable noun; they have to be followed by either a plural noun or an uncountable one. ''Anē'', ''imig'' and ''itig'' on the other hand can only be followed by a singular noun. ''Imig'' is only used before nouns referring to people, whereas ''itig'' is only used before other nouns. | |||
''Alltingiss'' is an emphatic variant of ''all'' in the sense of "everything". | |||
''All'' in the sense of "everyone" is dialectal and tends to be avoided in formal speech and writing. | |||
The short forms ''nitiss'' and ''nirgiss'' of the negative pronouns are colloquial, and in many situations the full forms are preferred. By contrast, the short form ''nimē'' is generally preferred to the somewhat archaic ''nytimē''. | |||
''solls dē'' generally refers to something more concrete than ''zoss''. | |||
