A recap of Object pronouns

Just another reminder about pronouns.


What is the difference in English between 'I' and "me'?  


He hit me - 'The word 'me' is an object pronoun because it is the target of the verb. 'He' is a subject pronoun because it is the subject that is 'doing' the verb. Somali is the same.


Isaga/Wuu i dilay - He hit me 

The word 'i' here means the same as 'me' in English


Waxaan dooneyaa inaad i baratid Af Soomali - I want you to teach me Somali


Waan kuu sheegay - I told you

Object pronouns
me - i
you - ku
him - u
her - u
we (excl) - na
we(incl) - ina
you(pl) - idin
they - u
