Tatar Grammar - Pronouns

Hi Tatar learners! 😊
In today's lesson, we will be discussing the basics of Tatar pronouns. Pronouns are an important part of any language, and Tatar is no exception. We will look at the different types of pronouns, how they are used, and how to form them correctly. By the end of this lesson, you should have a good understanding of Tatar pronouns.

Types of Pronouns

Pronouns can be divided into two main categories: personal pronouns and possessive pronouns. Personal pronouns refer to people or things, while possessive pronouns indicate ownership or possession. Let's take a closer look at each type of pronoun.

Personal Pronouns

Personal pronouns are used to refer to people or things. In Tatar, there are three types of personal pronouns: first person, second person, and third person.

• First person pronouns refer to the speaker or writer. Examples include: men (I), sen (you), biz (we).
• Second person pronouns refer to the person being spoken to. Examples include: sen (you), siz (you), ular (they).
• Third person pronouns refer to the person or thing being spoken about. Examples include: u (he/she/it), ular (they).

Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns indicate ownership or possession. In Tatar, there are three types of possessive pronouns: singular, dual, and plural.

• Singular possessive pronouns refer to one person or thing. Examples include: menin (mine), senin (yours), uning (his/hers/its).
• Dual possessive pronouns refer to two people or things. Examples include: bizning (ours), sizning (yours), ularning (theirs).
• Plural possessive pronouns refer to more than two people or things. Examples include: bizning (ours), sizning (yours), ularning (theirs).

Forming Pronouns

Now that we have looked at the different types of pronouns, let's take a look at how to form them correctly.

• To form a personal pronoun, simply add the appropriate suffix to the stem. For example, the stem for "I" is men, so to form the pronoun "we", you would add the suffix "-iz" to the stem, resulting in the pronoun "biz".
• To form a possessive pronoun, simply add the appropriate suffix to the stem. For example, the stem for "mine" is menin, so to form the pronoun "ours", you would add the suffix "-iz" to the stem, resulting in the pronoun "bizning".

Conclusion

We have now looked at the basics of Tatar pronouns. We have discussed the different types of pronouns, how they are used, and how to form them correctly. With this knowledge, you should now be able to use pronouns correctly in your Tatar conversations.
