Chart of Personal, Possessive, and Reflexive Pronouns

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.

        Possessive pronouns
                  Possessive pronouns indicate possession.
                  Form (except first pronoun):  personal pronoun + apostrophe + "s".
                          First person possessive pronouns:  mine, me's.  Both acceptable.
                  Ex:  That book iz mine / me’s.  No, it·iz she’s.  Or iz it they’s?

        Possessive adnouns are unique words.  (Peoplese "adnouns" = English "adjectives".)
                 They are only used to indicate possession of a noun.  [Unlike English].
                 Thus, e. g., "her" and "his" are used only for possession.  For all other uses, use "she" and "he".
                         Ex:  my purse, your keys, her car, our house, your money.  Ex:  Please give her book to he.

        Reflexive-pronouns are used when the subject and verb-object refer to the same person.  
                Reflexive-pronouns are formed by:  Possessive adnoun + self (plus “s” when plural).
                Ex:  She consider herself smart.  I often encourage myself.  They can entertain theyselfs.

        Intensive pronouns
                Intensive pronouns intensify -- add emphasis -- to the noun that they immediately follow.
                Intensive pronouns and reflexive pronouns are exactly the same words;
                         they are formed by:  Possessive Adnoun + self (plus "s" when plural)..  See above chart.
                         Ex:  I myself hire۔d he.  Then the king himself enter۔d.  The boss herself tell۔d me.

        [English pronouns not in Peoplese:  him, hers, them, us, ours, their, theirs

Other Types of Pronouns

        Demonstrative-pronouns refer to something specific, while indicate۔ing (1) whether singular or plural
                and (2) whether the thing referred to is near or far from the speaker.
                         Ex:  this house (nearby, singular); that mountain (distant, singular);
                                    these houses (nearby, plural); those clouds (distant, plural).

        Indefinite-pronouns refer to something or somebody not specified.. They are always singular.
                Indefinite pronouns:  anybody, anyone, either, neither, nobody, some, somebody.
                Ex:  Anybody home?  Nobody to blame. Either path iz okay.  Somebody call۔d me.

        Interrogative-pronouns ask questions.
                There are four interrogative pronouns:  what, which, who, whose
                         "Who" and "whose" refer to people..
                Ex:  Who iz she?  Which do you want?  Whose wallet is that?  You did what? 

        Link-pronouns link a sentence’s main clause to a minor clause.  [English:  "relative pronouns"]
                Link-pronouns:  that, which, who, whoever, whose.  ("whom" is not a Peoplese word)
                         Ex:  He iz the man who cheat۔d me.
                         Ex:  The person whose car is park۔d un۔legal۔ly, please move your car.
                         Ex:  The shirt that you plan to give he iz too small.
                         Ex:  That factory, which have been pollute۔ing the air dur decades, will soon close.
                Distinguishing between “that” and “which” when used as link-pronouns:
                         “Which” is used, after a comma, within parenthetic expressions,
                                    which can be removed and the sentence will still make senses.
                                    Ex:  In the above example, the parenthetical phrase, which begins with “which” and  ends with “decades”, can be removed, and the sentence still makes sense:  I.e., That factory will soon close.
                         If not a parenthetical expression, use “that”.
                                    Ex:  The factory that has been polluting the area for decades will soon close.
                        For casual speaking, "that" and "which" are interchangeable.

        Reciprocal pronouns are used when two or more people do the same thing.
                            There are only two reciprocal pronouns:
                                    each other (used only for two peoplle
                                    one another  (used for 3 or more people.
                             Ex:  My brother and I often help each other.  Politicians often blame one another.

        Referent-less pronouns do not refer to anything.
                             English eamples:  It is raining.  What time is it?  There is nobody here.
                                     In the above sentences, "it" and "there" do not refer to anything.
                                     Therefore "it" links nothing to something - useless and verbose.
                             Referenl-ess pronouns and senseless copulas appear because of English's requirement that every sentence include a subject and a verb -- not a Peoplese requirement.
                             Referent-less pronouns are permissible but discouraged in formal Peoplese.
                                     Ex:  Peoplese:  Now rain۔ing.  What time now?  Nobody here.

        Familiar Pronouns

                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.
       When translating dialog between family members to Peoplese from a language that uses familiar pronouns,  “you” is translated as “oo”, etc.  Chart below.
               Archaic Pronouns

                In English, archaic pronouns are seldom used, but appear in ancient texts, e.g. the Bible.
                        They are also available in Peoplese, listed below.
