Independent Pronouns

-We call the following pronouns ‘independent’ because they aren’t attached to other words such as (nouns, verbs, prepositions).

i	ana
You (m.s)	nta
You (f.s)	nti
He	huwa
she	hiya
we	hna
You (plr)	ntuma
they	huma

 

 

- when they are followed by a noun or an adjective the verb ‘to be’ is not necessay. it is implied already. and simple sentences can be made by using independent pronouns with a nouns or adjectives.

Example :

- ana tbib  (أنا طبيب)  i am a doctor.

- nta mghyar (نت مغيار) you are jealous .

- nti ghdbana (نتِ غضبانه) you are angry.

- huwa rajl (هو راجل) he is a man.

- hiya mra (مرا) she is a woman.

- hna ghdbanin (حنا غضبانين) we are angry.

- ntuma mshghulin (نتما مشغولين) you are busy.

- huma nashtin (هما ناشطين) they are happy.
