Personal pronouns

PERSONAL PRONOUNS

ngáí - I

yó - you

yé - he/she/it

bísó - we

bínó - you

bangó - they

Example:
Kozala… to be…

ngáí nazalí kitoko I am beautiful

yó ozalí kitoko you are beautiful

yé azalí kitoko he/she/it is beautiful

bísó tozalí kitoko we are beautiful

bínó bozalí kitoko you are beautiful

bangó bazalí kitoko they are beautiful

Note that personal pronouns are, very often, not used in Lingala. So instead of saying “yé azali kitoko”, people usually say “azalí kitoko”, or “aza kitoko”.
