Personal Pronouns in Armenian

In Armenian not only nouns, but also pronouns and verbs can be put into different cases. We already know the personal pronouns։ ես, դու, նա, մենք, դուք, նրանք. As an example lets take the personal pronoun “ես”to see how it changes in the seven cases which we are already familiar with.

Case	Example
Nominative	I am Zaven.	Ես Զավենն եմ։
Genitive	My name is Zaven	Իմ անունը Զավեն է։
Dative	You give me the cup.	Դու բաժակը տալիս ես ինձ։
Accusative	You know me.	Դու գիտես ինձ։
Ablative	Are you getting sick of me?	Դու ձանձրանու՞մ ես ինձանից։
Instrumental	Are you interested in me?	Դու հետաքրքրվա՞ծ ես ինձանով։
Locative	In me, there is hope.	Ինձանում հույս կա։
