Let's get started!
== Personal Pronouns ==
Personal pronouns in Tagalog are used to replace or refer to specific people or things. They indicate the role or relationship of the speaker or the person being referred to. Tagalog personal pronouns have different forms depending on whether they are used as the subject or the object of a sentence. Let's take a closer look at each form and its usage.
=== Subject Pronouns ===


<div class="pg_page_title">[[Language/Tagalog|Tagalog]]  → [[Language/Tagalog/Grammar|Grammar]] → Basic Pronouns</div>
Subject pronouns in Tagalog are used when the pronoun is the subject of the sentence, performing the action. Here are the subject pronouns in Tagalog:


__TOC__

As a Tagalog language teacher with 20 years of experience, I know that mastering the use of pronouns is crucial to becoming proficient in Tagalog. Pronouns are words that replace nouns and are used to avoid repetition in sentences. In this lesson, we will learn the basic Tagalog pronouns and their proper usage in sentence construction.
Let's see these subject pronouns in action:


* Ako ang kumain ng mansanas. (I ate the apple.)
* Ikaw ang sumulat ng liham. (You wrote the letter.)
* Siya ang nagluto ng adobo. (He/she cooked the adobo.)
* Tayo ang maglilinis ng bahay. (We will clean the house.)
* Kami ang nagwagi sa paligsahan. (We won the competition.)
* Kayo ang aking mga kaibigan. (You are my friends.)
* Sila ang nag-aaral ng Tagalog. (They are studying Tagalog.)

Remember to use the appropriate subject pronoun based on the number and formality of the person or people you are referring to.
== Basic Tagalog Pronouns ==


In Tagalog, the basic pronouns are "ako," "ikaw," "siya," "tayo," and "sila." Each of these pronouns can be singular or plural, depending on the number of people or objects they refer to. Let's take a look at each of them:
=== Object Pronouns ===


* "Ako" means "I" in English. It is the first person singular pronoun and is used to refer to oneself.  
Object pronouns in Tagalog are used when the pronoun is the object of the sentence, receiving the action. Here are the object pronouns in Tagalog:


* "Ikaw" means "you" in English. It is the second person singular pronoun and is used to refer to the person being spoken to.  
{| class="wikitable"
! Tagalog !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
| ako || /a.ko/ || me
|-
| ikaw || /i.kaw/ || you (singular)
|-
| siya || /si.ya/ || him/her
|-
| tayo || /ta.yo/ || us (inclusive)
|-
| kami || /ka.mi/ || us (exclusive)
|-
| kayo || /ka.yo/ || you (plural)
|-
| sila || /si.la/ || them
|}


* "Siya" means "he," "she," or "it" in English. It is the third person singular pronoun which is used to refer to a singular person, animal, or thing.
Let's see these object pronouns in action:


* "Tayo" means "we" in English. It is the first person plural pronoun and is used to refer to oneself and others.  
* Bigyan mo ako ng pera. (Give me money.)
* Tulungan mo ako. (Help me.)
* Mahal kita. (I love you.)
* Sunduin mo siya sa airport. (Pick him/her up at the airport.)
* Sumama kayo sa amin. (Come with us.)
* Padalhan natin sila ng regalo. (Let's send them a gift.)
* Tanungin ninyo sila tungkol sa kanilang karanasan. (Ask them about their experience.)


* "Sila" means "they" in English. It is the third person plural pronoun and is used to refer to a group of people or objects.
As with subject pronouns, use the appropriate object pronoun based on the number and formality of the person or people you are referring to.


It is essential to understand the difference between singular and plural forms. Singular forms refer to a single person or object, while plural forms refer to multiple persons or objects. Additionally, Tagalog pronouns do not have gender markers.
== Possessive Pronouns ==


Let us look at a few examples of how to use these basic pronouns.
Possessive pronouns in Tagalog are used to indicate ownership or possession. They replace the noun and show who it belongs to. Here are the possessive pronouns in Tagalog:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Tagalog !! Pronunciation !! English
! Tagalog !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Ako || [a.ko] || I
| akin || /a.kin/ || mine
|-
|-
| Ikaw || [i.kaw] || You
| iyo || /i.yo/ || yours (singular)
|-
| kanya || /ka.nya/ || his/hers
|-
| atin || /a.tin/ || ours (inclusive)
|-
| amin || /a.min/ || ours (exclusive)
|-
| inyo || /i.nyo/ || yours (plural)
|-
| kanila || /ka.ni.la/ || theirs
|}
 
Let's see these possessive pronouns in action:
 
* Ang libro ay akin. (The book is mine.)
* Ito ay iyo. (This is yours.)
* Ang bahay ay kanya. (The house is his/hers.)
* Ang kotse ay atin. (The car is ours.)
* Ang pusa ay amin. (The cat is ours.)
* Ang mga damit ay inyo. (The clothes are yours.)
* Ang mga bag ay kanila. (The bags are theirs.)
 
Use the appropriate possessive pronoun to indicate ownership or possession.
 
== Demonstrative Pronouns ==
 
Demonstrative pronouns in Tagalog are used to point out specific people or things. They replace the noun and indicate whether the object is near or far from the speaker or the person being referred to. Here are the demonstrative pronouns in Tagalog:
 
{| class="wikitable"
! Tagalog !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| Siya || [si.ya] || He / She / It
| ito || /i.to/ || this
|-
|-
| Tayo || [ta.yo] || We
| iyan || /i.yan/ || that (near the person being spoken to)
|-
|-
| Sila || [si.la] || They
| iyon || /i.yon/ || that (far from both the speaker and the person being spoken to)
|}
|}


* Ako ay nagtuturo sa unibersidad. (I am a teacher in the university.)
Let's see these demonstrative pronouns in action:


* Pakiabot mo ito sa akin, ikaw. (Please hand this to me, you.)
* Ito ang bahay ko. (This is my house.)
* Iyan ang damit mo. (That is your clothes.)
* Iyon ang kotse niya. (That is his/her car.)


* Siya ay magaling na singer. (He/She is a great singer.)
Use the appropriate demonstrative pronoun to point out specific people or things.


* Tayo ay pupunta sa sinehan mamaya. (We will go to the cinema later.)
== Cultural Insights ==


* Sila ay nag-aaral ng Tagalog ngayon. (They are studying Tagalog now.)
In Tagalog-speaking regions, it is common for people to address each other using pronouns like "kuya" (older brother), "ate" (older sister), "manong" (older male cousin or friend), and "manang" (older female cousin or friend) as a sign of respect and familiarity. These terms are used to establish a sense of kinship and closeness in relationships, even if the individuals are not biologically related. It showcases the warmth and hospitality that is deeply ingrained in Filipino culture.


Now that you've seen some examples of how to use these basic pronouns, try making your sentences using them. Practice is the key to mastering these pronouns.
Additionally, Tagalog has different pronouns to indicate politeness and formality. The pronouns "po" and "opo" are used to show respect when speaking to someone older or of higher social status. It is considered impolite to address someone without using these honorifics, especially in formal settings. This cultural practice reflects the importance of respect and deference in Filipino society.

Personal Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Personal pronouns in Tagalog are used to replace or refer to specific people or things. They indicate the role or relationship of the speaker or the person being referred to.
