Introduction to Personal Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Personal pronouns are words that take the place of nouns. In Telugu, just like in English, these pronouns can refer to the speaker, the listener, or the subject being discussed. This makes your communication more fluid and natural.

For instance, instead of saying "Ravi went to the market," you can simply say "He went to the market." This concise way of speaking is what personal pronouns help us achieve.

In Telugu, personal pronouns are categorized based on the number (singular or plural) and the person (first, second, or third). Let’s break these categories down!

List of Personal Pronouns in Telugu[edit | edit source]

Here’s a quick reference table for personal pronouns in Telugu:

Person	Singular	Plural
First !! నేను (nēnu)	మేము (mēmu)
Second !! నీవు (nīvu)	మీరు (mīru)
Third !! అతడు (ataḍu)	వారు (vāru)
!! ఆమె (āme)	అవి (avi)

First Person: Refers to the speaker. (I, We)

Second Person: Refers to the listener. (You)

Third Person: Refers to someone/something being talked about. (He, She, It, They)

Examples Illustrating Their Use[edit | edit source]

To help solidify your understanding, let's look at some examples that illustrate how these personal pronouns are used in sentences.

Here is a table showcasing various sentences using personal pronouns in Telugu:

నేను చదువుతున్నాను	nēnu chaduvutunnānu	I am studying
మేము పుస్తకాలు చదువుతున్నాం	mēmu pustakālu chaduvutunnāmu	We are reading books
నీవు ఎక్కడ ఉన్నావు?	nīvu ekkaḍa unnāvu?	Where are you?
మీరు ఎలా ఉన్నారు?	mīru ēlā unnāru?	How are you?
అతడు బాగా పాడుతాడు	ataḍu bāgā pāḍutāḍu	He sings well
ఆమె సంతోషంగా ఉంది	āme santōṣaṅgā undi	She is happy
అది మంచి సినిమా	adi man̄ci sinimā	It is a good movie
