Introduction to Abkhazian Personal Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Personal pronouns in Abkhazian, much like in English, are used to refer to specific persons or things. They can indicate the subject of a verb (who is doing the action) or the object of a verb (who is receiving the action).

Understanding personal pronouns will not only help you with sentence construction but also improve your comprehension of spoken and written Abkhazian. In this language, the pronouns change based on the grammatical context, which includes aspects like subject and object forms.

Let’s break down the different types of personal pronouns in Abkhazian.

Subject Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Subject pronouns are used as the subject of a sentence. Here’s a table detailing the Abkhazian subject pronouns:

Examples of Pronouns in Context[edit | edit source]

Let’s look at how these pronouns can be used in sentences. Below are some examples showcasing subject, object, and possessive pronouns in Abkhazian:
