Lesson 1: Personal Pronouns
How to Use This Lesson
Every lesson is divided into four sections: Grammar, Vocabulary, Exercise, and Review. Please move through these tabs in order.
Do not try to memorize! Just read through the content attentively. We will have plenty of exercises and reviews later!
Personal Pronouns
Let's get started with grammar first!
Singular Pronouns
These are the personal pronouns:
| Oravia | English |
|---|---|
| nim | I |
| run | you |
| hay | he/she/they (singular) |
For example, if you want to refer to yourself, you'd say "nim".
There is no gender, so hay can be used as he, she, or any other singular third person pronoun. In sum, you can point to anyone and say "hay".
Plural Pronouns
Words in Oravia don't generally have plural, but personal pronouns do. Here they are:
| Oravia | English |
|---|---|
| nima | we |
| runa | you (plural) |
| haya | they (plural) |
For example, if you want to refer to just one person listening to you, you'd say "run". If you want to refer to multiple people, like "y'all", you'd say "runa".
All Together
Now let's look at them again, singular and plural:
| Singular | Plural |
|---|---|
| nim (I) | nima (we) |
| run (you) | runa (you all) |
| hay (he/she/they) | haya (they) |
Quick Check
- How do you say "he"?
- How about "they (plural)"?
That's it for grammar today! Let's move on to the next tab: Vocabulary.
The MO Cluster
We are going to learn our first cluster! Look at the list of words below.
Remember, do not try to memorize them. Just read it through attentively.
| Oravia | English |
|---|---|
| mogali | coffee |
| mocen | chocolate |
| moyam | spice |
| moyi | sugar, sweet |
| moval | ice |
| mouje | drink |
| moulu | milk |
All these words start with MO, being part of the MO cluster.
