Hi Corsican learners! 😊<br>In today's lesson, we will be discussing the use of pronouns in Corsican. Pronouns are an important part of any language, and understanding how to use them correctly is essential for speaking and writing Corsican. We will look at the different types of pronouns, how they are used, and some examples of their usage.<br><br>__TOC__<br><br>
== 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.<br><br>
=== Personal Pronouns ===
Personal pronouns are used to refer to people or things. In Corsican, there are seven personal pronouns:
* eu (I)
* tu (you)
* elu (he/she/it)
* nui (we)
* voi (you)
* elli (they)
* sè (one).


These pronouns can be used in both the singular and plural forms. For example, eu can be used to mean "I" or "we", depending on the context. Similarly, tu can be used to mean "you" or "you all".<br><br>

Possessive pronouns are used to indicate ownership or possession. In Corsican, there are five possessive pronouns:
* meu (my)
* tò (your)
* so (his/her/its)
* nostru (our)
* vostru (your).  


These pronouns can also be used in both the singular and plural forms. For example, meu can be used to mean "my" or "our", depending on the context. Similarly, tò can be used to mean "your" or "your all".<br><br>

Now that we have looked at the different types of pronouns, let's look at some examples of their usage.


* Eu parlà (I speak)
* Tu cantà (You sing)
* Elu caminà (He/she/it walks)
* Nui cantà (We sing)
* Voi caminà (You all walk)

* Sè caminà (One walks)
* Meu casa (My house)
* Tò casa (Your house)
* So casa (His/her/its house)
* Nostru casa (Our house)
* Vostru casa (Your all house).

Pronouns are words that replace nouns. They make our sentences clearer and more concise. Instead of repeating the same noun over and over again, we can use a pronoun. For example, instead of saying "Maria went to the store. Maria bought bread. Maria paid with cash." we can use pronouns and say "Maria went to the store. She bought bread. She paid with cash."

Hi Corsican learners! 😊
In this lesson, we are going to focus on Corsican pronouns! Pronouns are very important in any language because they allow us to avoid repetition and make our speech more fluent. Let's get started!

What are Pronouns?[edit | edit source]

Pronouns are words that replace nouns. They make our sentences clearer and more concise. Instead of repeating the same noun over and over again, we can use a pronoun. For example, instead of saying "Maria went to the store. Maria bought bread. Maria paid with cash." we can use pronouns and say "Maria went to the store. She bought bread. She paid with cash."

In Corsican, we have different types of pronouns such as personal, subject, object, possessive, reflexive and demonstrative pronouns. In this lesson, we will focus on personal and possessive pronouns, as they are the most commonly used.

Personal Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Personal pronouns are words that represent a person or a group of people. In Corsican, there are two types of personal pronouns: subject and object pronouns. We use subject pronouns to replace the subject of the sentence, while we use object pronouns to replace the object of the sentence.

Here's a table that shows the personal pronouns in Corsican:

Corsican Pronunciation English
Io [ˈjo] I
Ti [ti] You (singular, informal)
Elle [ˈɛl.lɛ] She
Ellu [ˈɛl.lu] He
Noi [ˈnɔj] We
Voi [ˈvoj] You (plural, formal or informal)
Elle [ˈɛl.lɛ] They (feminine)
Elli [ˈɛl.li] They (masculine)

For instance:

  • Person 1: Io parlu Corsu. ([I speak Corsican.])
  • Person 2: Ancu mi parli Corsu? ([Do you speak Corsican too?])

Note that in general, Corsican people are very welcoming to non-native speakers, and they will appreciate the effort to learn their language. To improve your Corsican Grammar, you can also use the resources available on the Polyglot Club website. Find native speakers and ask them any questions!

Possessive Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Possessive pronouns are words that show possession. In Corsican, possessive pronouns agree in gender and number with the noun they replace.

Here's a table with the possessive pronouns in Corsican:

Corsican Pronunciation English
Meu [ˈmɛw] Mine
Tocca [ˈtɔk.ka] Yours (singular, informal)
Sua [ˈsu.a] Hers / His
Nostru [ˈnɔs.tru] Ours
Vossu [ˈvɔs.su] Yours (plural, formal or informal)
Loro [ˈlɔ.rɔ] Theirs

For instance:

  • Person 1: Hè stu libru toccu? ([Is this book yours?])
  • Person 2: No, hè stu libru meu. ([No, this book is mine.])
