Notes Personal Pronouns are used for both subjects and objects in a sentence. Ex: They invited we to the party. We could not go. Contrastly, English uses separate pronouns for subjects and objects. Both “I” and “me” are acceptable pronouns for first-person personal-pronouns.. “I want that.” and “Me want that” both acceptable. “Me" is less formal. “ta” means “he or she” – gender not specified. From Mandarin Chinese. Ex: Somebody will come this afternoon; please give ta this package. “ta” is also a pronoun for sprits, e.g. ghosts, gods. When referring to God when meaning ‘the one and only God”, pronoun "Ta" is capitalized. For Greek gods, use “ta” uncapitalized. For animals we use "it" unless gender is important.

In some languages (e.g. Spanish), pronouns
are either regular or
familiar. Family members and friends are addressed with a familiar pronoun (Spanish tu, you); acquaintances and
strangers are addressed with regular pronouns (Spanish usted,
you). Therefore a speaker, when addressing an acquaintance, may
switch from regular to intimate pronoun (in Spanish, from usted
to tu).; the acquaintance addressed with an familiar form
of “you” feels emotional warmth from the speaker, a welcoming into the
speaker’s fold of family and close friends. This ability to
switch from a regular to an familiar way of saying “you” is an
important feature of social cohesion among speakers in these languages. It
is missing in English, but not in Peoplese. Archaic Pronouns
In English, archaic pronouns are seldom used, but
appear in ancient
texts, e.g. the Bible.
