| <nowiki>**</nowiki> notes: " Ti" is informal. Don't say " ti " to older people, or people who you don't know. For this purpose we use " Vi " ( the plural form of you) So, politely said: " Who are you" ? would be: Ko ste Vi? For building the negative form, just add the prefix "'''ni'''-" to the present form.
