EN Subject pronouns: who does the action?
FR Les pronoms sujets : qui fait l’action ?
Editorial gloss and explanation · awaiting review
Subject pronouns join the verb that follows them. The workbook gives the six forms below, then explains that ma and pa change their vowel with wɛwʋ “to be”. Learn the pronoun together with an attested verb form: a dictionary infinitive is not a complete sentence.
| Person | Aspect / context | Kabɩyɛ | Meaning / note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Subject | má | I | |
| Subject | ŋ | you, singular | |
| Subject | ɛ̀ | he / she | |
| Subject | ɖɩ | we | |
| Subject | ɩ | you, plural | |
| Subject | pá | they |
Forms were compared with the PDF. Legacy font characters are represented with the corresponding Latin Kabɩyɛ letters (ɩ, ɛ, ʋ, ɖ, ŋ), retaining printed tone marks.
Which listed subject pronoun means “we”?
ɖɩ. Its form in a complete verb should be learned from the source example.
