Subject
y /ju/ "I", tu /tu/ "you (sg.)"
il /il/ "he/it", ila /ila/ "she/it"
noi /noj/ "we", voi /voj/ "you (pl.)"
ilí /iʎi/ "they (masc.)", ille /il(:)e/ "they (fem.)"
Object
mi /mi/, ti /tsi/
lu /lu/, la /la/ (direct); lui /luj/, llei /l(:)ei/ (indirect); si /ʃi/ (reflexive)
ni /ɲi/, vi /vi/
li /ʎi/, lle /l(:)e/ (direct); lli /l(:)i/ (indirect); si /ʃi/ (reflexive)
All object pronouns except li, lle, and lli can drop the vowel and become a proclitic on a following verb (and llei is reduced to l', not ll').
Examples: T'av scryt. "I wrote to you." M'importa mút. "It's very important to me." S'à cazit. "(S)he/it fell."
The subject pronouns are usually used after prepositions, except the first and second person singular as well as the reflexive use the pronouns me /me/, te /tse/, and se /ʃe/ respectively.
Here are the possessive pronouns in the order: masculine singular, feminine singular, masculine plural, feminine plural.
Y: mi, ma, mei, mé
Tu: tu, ta, tti, tte
Il/Ila: su, sa, ssi, sse
Noi: nost, nostra, nostri, nostre
Voi: vost, vostra, vostri, vostre
Ilí/Ille: su, sa, ssi, sse
Demonstratives make a proximal/distal distinction (no medial).
Proximal: ccist, ccista, ccistí, ccistte
Distal: ccil, ccila, ccilí, ccille
Pieveian does have a T-V distinction, but it doesn't use the second person plural or specialized pronouns for formality. Instead, the proximal demonstratives are used, because it used to be rude to refer to one's superior directly.
Ti vizi. "I see you (informal)"
Vizi ccist(a). "I see you (formal)"
However, use of the "formal demonstrative" isn't as common as it used it be, since the use of tu has become socially acceptable in more situations. When talking to a relative, no matter what age or status, one would always use tu. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
