Lesson 6| Pronouns
Personal Pronouns
Pronouns are nouns which are used instead of another noun ('pro', in place of 'noun', noun.)
There are three categories of pronouns which are divided up into persons: 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. In addition, pronouns can be singular or plural. They are declined like all other nouns.
| Person | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | I | we |
| 2nd | you, thou | you (all) |
| 3rd | he/she/it | they |
Table of Personal Pronouns in all of their cases: I, you, he/she/it, we, y'all, they
Note: you is the singular of the plural y'all - useful for distinguishing you (singular) from you (plural).
High Valyrian has two third person personal pronouns: ziry, for lunar and solar nouns and ūja, for terrestrial and aquatic nouns. Generally, ziry is used for animates and ūja for inanimates. This linguistic feature is useful for sentences where you are keeping track of two generic participants like the following example of one who had something stolen and a thief: "he (ūja) stole property from him (ziry), he (ziry) will have his property returned and for him (ūja), the punishment is death."
| Singular | Plural | |||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Case | 1st Person | 2nd Person | 3nd Person | 3nd Person | 1st Person | 2nd Person | 2nd Person | |||||||
| Nominative | nyke | I | ao | you | ziry | he/she/it | ūja | he/she/it | īlon | we | jeme | y'all | pōnta | they |
| Accusative | yne | me | avy | you | ziry | he/she/it | ūī | he/she/it | īlōn | us | jemī | y'all | pōnte | them |

| Vocative | nykys | me | aōs | you | zirys | him/her/it | ūjus | him/her/it | īlos | us | jemys | y'all | pōntus | them |
Possessive Adjectives
Possessive adjectives indicate possession of a participant in a sentence like 'my sister' or 'your bicycle.' These modify nouns; they take the gender of the noun which they modify and agree in case and number.
| High Valyrian | English |
|---|---|
| ñuha ys on or | my |
| aōha ys on or | your |
| zȳha ys on or | his/hers, its |
| jāha ys on or | his/hers, its |
| īlva ys on or | our |
| jeva ys on or | y'alls |
| pōja ys on or | their |
Reflexive
| Singular | Plural | |||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Case | 1st Person | 2nd Person | 3nd Person | 3nd Person | 1st Person | 2nd Person | 2nd Person | |||||||
| Reflexive | nykēla | myself | aōla | youself | zirȳla | himself/herself/itself | jāla | himself/herself/itself | īlōnda | ourselves | jemēla | y'alls self | pōntāla | themselves |
The reflexive means something like 'myself, yourself, your own' and is used to provide added emphasis to a sentence participant. It declines and is used like like a typical first lunar noun; it may be either a subject or an object per the following examples:
| High Valyrian | English |
|---|---|
| Hēzīr, brōza jevi jemēle iderēbilātās. | From this day forward, you will choose your own names. |
| Jemēla zȳhys perzī ondurilāt? | Will you take up her flames yourselves? |
| Nykēla avy ossēninna. | I will kill you myself. |
Demonstrative Pronouns
Demonstrative pronouns indicate location relative to the speaker; they in English are 'this', for that which is near, and 'that' for that which is far.
| High Valyrian | English |
|---|---|
| bisa ys on or | this |
| bona ys on or | that |
