Personal pronouns allow you to designate a person without naming them. In Kabyle, they vary by gender (masculine / feminine) and number (singular / plural).
| Person | Masculine | Feminine |
|---|---|---|
1st singular | nekk | nekk |
2nd singular | kečč | kem |
3rd singular | netta | nettat |
1st plural | nekni | nekenti |
2nd plural | kunwi | kunemti |
3rd plural | nutni | nutenti |
To identify someone ("to be + noun"), we use the particle d between the pronoun and the noun.
Note: the pronoun is not always mandatory. The verb already carries the person mark; we add the pronoun to insist or clarify.
