Basic pronouns

Aniga    -    I
Adiga    -   You
Isaga     -   He
Iyada     -  She
Annaga  -  We (listener excluded)
Innaga    -  We(listener included)
Idinka    - You (all)
Iyaga     - They




The difference between 'Annaga' and 'Innaga' is that 'Annaga' excludes the listener whereas 'Innaga' includes the listener.


To make the pronoun the subject change the ending from 'a' to 'u'


Anigu waa karraani  - I am a clerk
Isagu waa askari      - He is a soldier
Iyadu waa dhakhtar - She is a doctor
Adigu waa fulay       - You are a coward
