There are two forms of each pronoun. The first ones are used to indicate the agent of the sentence and the latter ones to indicate the patient and, furthermore, when only a pronoun is needed to convey the meaning. The agent pronouns are added to the verb and cannot be on their own. The place of the pronoun depends on the other affixes of the word. In the present tense it's always initial: '''''A'''tás'k'' = "I swim". But in other tenses it's usually the final one and the tense marker is the first: ''Yentás'k'''a''''' = "I swam". It's optional to omit the agent pronoun if the subject of the sentence is something other than a personal pronoun, ie. one can say either ''Tás'k kiál'' or ''Sáttás'k kiál'' for "The birds swim". | There are two forms of each pronoun.
