Give me my book! "إدِينِي كِتَابِي"
Up till this point, we have learned about subject pronouns and verbs. Now it is time to learn object pronouns (e.g. me, you, him ... etc).
In Egyptian, object pronouns are suffixes that are appended to the verb. The following table lists the different object pronouns.
me |
-nee |
you (m.) |
-ak |
you (f.) |
-ek |
you (pl.) |
-kom |
him |
-oh |
her |
-haa |
them |
-hom |
us |
-naa |
One more basic thing you want to learn is possessive pronouns (e.g. my, your, his ... etc). Egyptian uses a system that is more similar to the English composition:
ketaaboh
ketaabee
That is it with object and possessive pronouns. Hopefully you are more expressive in Egyptian by now ;).
