2. Lesson 2: Pronouns
?
?
Pronouns in Yherchian went through a reform during the Salzal Period. This allowed pronouns to be simplified and allowed more speakers of Yherchian to communicate easier with each other. Yherchian doesn't use genders as strictly as Spanish or German does but in some circumstances gender can become important. One common area is when referring to oneself in a psychological or mental state rather than simply as a person. In everyday conversation and less formal Yherchian, genders are irrelevant and become obsolete.
The archaic pronoun system:
| English Person | Nominative | Yherchian | Accusative | Yherchian | Genetive | Yherchian |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1SG | I | iiy | Me | tza-iiy | Mine | he-iiy |
| 2SG | You | ret | You | ret | Yours | thel |
| 2SGF | She | gam | Her | zyē | Hers | zyē-he |
| 2SGM | He | xum / ẍum | Him | txō | His | jrot |
| 1PL | We | hye | Us | hye | Ours | hye-he |
| 2PL | You/Y'all | hnin | You/Y'all | hnin | Yours | hnin-he |
| 3PL | They | jro | Them | jro | Their | chosa |
The new updated system:
| English Person | Nominative | Yherchian | Accusative | Yherchian | Genetive | Yherchian |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1SG | I | iiy | Me | iiy | Mine / My | iiyzik |
| 2SG | You | ret | You | ret | Yours / Your | retzik |
| 2SGF | She | gam | Her | gam | Hers | gamzik |
| 2SGM | He | xum | Him | xum | His | xumzik |
| 1PL | We | hye | Us | hye | Ours / Our | hyezik |
| 2PL | You/Y'all | hnin | You/Y'all | hnin | Yours / Your | hninzik |
| 3PL | They | jro | Them | jro | Their | jrozik |
As you can see, there are some obvious changes that have been made for simplification. These changes were also made to rule out strange archaic rules that complicate and convolute Yherchian from being a more pure language.
Stems such as zik simply refer to "of" something or belonging to someone or something. You will see this pop up throughout Yherchian grammar frequently.
Txo is an example of a pronoun that still exists in Yherchian but only when referring to oneself in a psychological or mental manner, as mentioned above. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
