Subject

Subject pronouns are used to indicate the person or thing doing the action in the phrase. Subject pronouns match both the perspective and the count of the items they represent. In regards to the count, there are three options: singular, paucal, and plural. The Paucal is for small quantities while the Plural is for large quantities. Not all pronouns have a separate paucal and plural form.

Note that (m) denotes male, (f) denotes female, (n) denotes neutral, and (ex) denotes exclusive. 

Solanis does not have a pronoun similar to the English “it”. When referring to an animate object, the neutral third person pronoun should be used. When the subject is inanimate, such as a book or the day, no pronoun is used, but the verb is still conjugated in the third person neutral.

Object

Object pronouns are used to replace the indirect object noun and or direct object noun.

The direct object pronouns replace the direct object of the phrase.
