# Pronoun

Pronouns are nominal anaphora, that is, short words that are used to refer to a
noun or a noun phrase.  Pronouns usually have nominal morphology, though not
strictly.  Pronoun is a closed class.

## Personal pronouns

There are 15 personal pronouns in total.  Dual pronouns and 1st person
inclusive pronouns are in fact formed by compounding others.

| person | singular | dual     | several | plural   |
|--------|----------|----------|---------|----------|
| 1st    | fènsy    | fènvynsỳ | jaächsỳ | rèëchsý  |
| 1st (inclusive) | | fèndynsỳ | jaächdynsỳ | rèëchdynsý |
| 2nd    | tènsy    | tèndynsỳ | néëcsỳ  | ngeënsý  |
| 3rd    | lúcsy    | lúccynsỳ | bóönsỳ  | waanjsý  |

### Reflexive

Reflexive pronouns occur as clitic.  They are formed by removing the gender
vowel and number tone from corresponding personal pronoun.

> I-nom.wo.sg I-acc-look-ind.pst.cnt mirror-dat.mt.sg  
> *I was looking at myself in the mirror.*

It also works for indirect object:

> he-nom.wo.sg he-dat-buy-ind.fut.prf birthday-gift-acc.ea.sg  
> *He'll just buy himself a birthday gift.*

There is a difference between reflexive and reciprocal for plural pronouns.

> you-nom.dual you-acc.sg-love-ind.prs.cnt  
> *You love yourselves*
>
> you-nom.dual you-acc.dual-love-ind.prs.cnt  
> *You love each other.*

Note: there is also a idiomatic use of reflexive pronouns:

> I-nom.wa.sg I-gen-be.ind.pres.cnt  
> *I am alone.*
>
> car-acc.mt.sg I-nom.wa.sg I-gen-repair.ind.pst.prf  
> *I fixed the car myself.*

## Indefinite pronouns

These are indefinite pronouns in Hàäsdáïga:

- hipsy: somewhen
- vàtsy: somewhere
- cotsy: somehow
- jỳnsy: someone's
- bansy: someone

Construction of other [pro-forms][pro-forms] are totally regular:

- It is interrogative when its verb is in interrogative mood.
- Its proximity is determined by a determiner prefix: *ci* (this) *la* (that)
- So are *any*, *all/every*, *other*, with *zòt*, *rýnj*, *púch*, respectively.
- Negative forms are formed by negating the "all/every" form. See [Negation].
- The equivalent relative pronouns is unchanged.
