The second person is “nangma” and “nangmani”; the third “ama,” “anmani.”

The possessive of the second person, when used as nominative of verbs, has a curious irregular form “i” in the singular and “in” in the plural.

The pronominal particles “ka” (I), “i” (thou), “a” (he), “kan” (we), “in” (you), “an” (they) must be used with verbs in addition to the pronouns, thus:—

Nangma i kal ang em? =Will you go?
Keimani chaw kan ei mek =We are just eating our rice.

The particle can never be omitted, whereas the true pronoun is generally left out except when required for emphasis.
