Welcome to your Dari language journey! Today, we’re diving into one of the most fundamental components of any language: personal pronouns. Understanding personal pronouns is crucial because they allow us to express ourselves clearly and connect with others. In Dari, just like in English, personal pronouns play a pivotal role in everyday conversations, making it easier to refer to people and things without constantly repeating their names.

In this lesson, we will cover the following key areas:

Importance of Personal Pronouns in Dari[edit | edit source]

Personal pronouns in Dari help us form sentences that are not only grammatically correct but also meaningful. They replace nouns in sentences, making communication smoother and more efficient. For instance, instead of saying "Ali goes to the market," we can simply say "He goes to the market," using the pronoun "he" to replace "Ali." This not only saves time but also adds variety to our speech.

Types of Personal Pronouns in Dari[edit | edit source]

In Dari, personal pronouns can be grouped into the following categories:

1. Subject Pronouns: These pronouns act as the subject of a sentence.

2. Object Pronouns: These pronouns serve as the object in a sentence.

Let’s break these down further.

Subject Pronouns[edit | edit source]

The subject pronouns in Dari are as follows:

Dari	Pronunciation	English
من	man	I
تو	to	you (singular, informal)
او	u	he/she/it
ما	mā	we
شما	shomā	you (plural/formal)
آنها	ānhā	they

These subject pronouns are essential for constructing sentences. For example, instead of continuously saying "Ali" or "Fatima," we can use "he" or "she."

Object Pronouns[edit | edit source]

The object pronouns in Dari are as follows:

Dari	Pronunciation	English
مرا	marā	me
تو را	tora	you (singular, informal)
او را	u rā	him/her/it
ما را	mā rā	us
شما را	shomā rā	you (plural/formal)
آنها را	ānhā rā	them

Object pronouns are used when someone is receiving the action in a sentence. For example, in the sentence "She sees me," "me" is the object pronoun.

Using Personal Pronouns in Sentences[edit | edit source]

Now that we understand the personal pronouns, let's see how we can use them in sentences. Here are 20 examples illustrating different contexts and usages of personal pronouns in Dari:

1. من در خانه هستم.

Pronunciation: man dar khāna hastam.

Translation: I am at home.
