Yue Chinese personal pronouns are essential to learn if you want to have basic conversations in this language. In this lesson, we will go over the personal pronouns in Yue Chinese.
=== What are Personal Pronouns? ===
 
Personal pronouns are words used to refer to specific people or things. In Yue Chinese, just like in English, these pronouns help us identify the subject or object in a sentence. Understanding how to use them is crucial for building sentences and expressing your thoughts clearly.


==Subject Pronouns==
=== List of Personal Pronouns in Yue Chinese ===
Subject pronouns are the pronouns used for the subject of the sentence. The subject of the sentence is the person or thing doing the action. Let's take a look at the personal subject pronouns in Yue Chinese:
 
In Yue Chinese, personal pronouns can be categorized as follows:
 
* '''First Person''': Refers to the speaker
 
* '''Second Person''': Refers to the listener
 
* '''Third Person''': Refers to others
 
Below is a comprehensive table of personal pronouns in Yue Chinese:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Yue Chinese !! Pronunciation !! English
! Yue Chinese !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| 我 || ngoh5 || I, me
 
| 我 || ngóh || I
 
|-
|-
| 你 || nei5 || you (singular)
 
| 你 || néih || you (singular)
 
|-
|-
| 佢 || keoi5 || he, him, she, her
 
| 佢 || keoi || he/she/it
 
|-
|-
| 我哋 || ngoh5 dei6 || we, us
 
| 我哋 || ngóh deih || we
 
|-
|-
| 你哋 || nei5 dei6 || you (plural)
 
| 你哋 || néih deih || you (plural)
 
|-
|-
| 佢哋 || keoi5 dei6 || they, them
 
| 佢哋 || keoi deih || they
 
|}
|}


Note that the third-person pronoun 佢 (keoi5) can be used for both he and she. To indicate gender, you can add the suffix 子 (zi2) to 佢 (he) to form 佢子 (keoi5 zi2) for "he" or add the suffix 姐 (ze2) to 佢 (she) to form 佢姐 (keoi5 ze2) for "she".
=== Examples and Usage ===


==Object Pronouns==
Understanding how to use these pronouns is vital. Let's look at 20 examples that will help illustrate their usage in various contexts:
Object pronouns are the pronouns used for the object of the sentence. The object of the sentence is the person or thing receiving the action. Let's take a look at the personal object pronouns in Yue Chinese:


{| class="wikitable"

|-


==Possessive Pronouns==
| 我想要呢個 || ngóh seung yiu nī go || I want this
Possessive pronouns are used to indicate possession or belonging. Let's take a look at the possessive pronouns in Yue Chinese:


{| class="wikitable"

|-
|-
| 我嘅 || ngoh5 ge3 || my, mine
 
| 你可以幫我嗎？ || néih hó yíh bōng ngóh ma? || Can you help me?
 
|-
|-
| 你嘅 || nei5 ge3 || your, yours (singular)
 
| 佢好忙 || keoi hóu máahng || He/She is very busy
 
|-

| 我哋一齊去 || ngóh deih yāt chàih heoi || We go together
 
|-
|-
| 我哋嘅 || ngoh5 dei6 ge3 || our, ours
 
| 你哋有冇問題？ || néih deih yáuh móuh man tàih? || Do you (plural) have any questions?
 
|-
|-
| 你哋嘅 || nei5 dei6 ge3 || your, yours (plural)
 
| 佢哋啱啱返到 || keoi deih āam āam fāan dou || They just returned
 
|-
|-
| 佢哋嘅 || keoi5 dei6 ge3 || their, theirs
|}


Note that 嘅 (ge3) is the particle used to form possessive pronouns.
| 我鍾意呢首歌 || ngóh jūng yi nī sáu gō || I like this song
 
|-


==Reflexive Pronouns==
| 你聽唔聽到？ || néih tīng m̀h tīng dǒu? || Can you hear it?
Reflexive pronouns are used to indicate that the subject and object of the sentence are the same person or thing. Let's take a look at the reflexive pronoun in Yue Chinese:


{| class="wikitable"
! Yue Chinese !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| 自己 || zi6 gei2 || oneself
|}


==Emphatic Pronouns==
| 佢唔記得 || keoi m̀h gei dāk || He/She doesn't remember
Emphatic pronouns are used to emphasize the subject or object of the sentence. Let's take a look at the emphatic pronouns in Yue Chinese:


{| class="wikitable"
! Yue Chinese !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| 我自己 || ngoh5 zi6 gei2 || myself
 
| 我哋可以去遊覽 || ngóh deih hó yíh heoi yàuh láam || We can go sightseeing

|-
|-

| 你幾點返屋企？ || néih géi dim fāan ūk kéi? || What time do you return home?
 
|-
|-
| 佢哋自己 || keoi5 dei6 zi6 gei2 || themselves
 
| 佢想食甜品 || keoi seung sihk tìhm bān || He/She wants to eat dessert

Note that 自己 (zi6 gei2) can be added after the pronoun to form the emphatic pronouns.
