Pahari-Pothwari/Grammar/Pronouns

Pronouns exist for all 3 persons, 4 cases and 2 numbers. All for only 1 gender. They are not strictly categorised into masculine and feminine like other languages. Gender is inflected through verb forms rather than the pronoun. The plural also serves as the formal pronoun. +Pahari-Pothwari Personal PronounsPersonDirect caseOblique caseDative caseGenitive caseSingularPluralSingularPluralSingularPluralSingularPlural1st personmaĩ میںas اسmaĩ میںasā̃ اساںmikī مکیasā̃-kī اساں-کیmhārā مہاراsāṛā/asā̃-nā ساڑا/اساں-نا2nd persontū̃ توںtus تُسtū̃ توںtusā̃ تُساںtukī تُکیtusā̃-kī تُساں-کیtārā/tuhāṛā تارا/تہاڑاtusā̃-nā تُساں-نا3rd personNearé ایہis اِسénā̃ ایہناںis-kī اِس-کیénā̃-kī ایہناں-کیis-nā اِس-ناénā̃-nā ایہناں-ناRemoteó اوہus اُسónā̃ اوہناںus-kī اُس-کیónā̃-kī اوہناں-کیus-nā اُس-ناónā̃-nā اوہناں-نا The 3rd person pronouns also function as demonstratives. The dative forms may be realised as the oblique forms combined with the dative marker "-kī". The direct and oblique plural forms are usually merged to asā̃ and tusā̃. The use of the direct plural pronouns is most common in the dialects of Azad Jammu and Kashmir. The genitive pronouns change based on the ending of the possession. The vowel is changed in the various forms. Here I listed the form if the noun is masculine singular and in the direct case.
