Taking a new look at Cornish grammar 4 (clauses with pronouns)

Simple sentences/clauses with pronouns

We can replace each of the names and nouns in the previous post with appropriate pronouns (coloured).

Ev a dheuth.
He came.
Ev eth.
He went.
Hei a ganas.
She sang.
Hei a lanhas.
She cleaned.
Anjei a goan.
They sing.
Anjei a wary.
They play.
Anjei a resek.
They run.
Anjei a dhesk.
They teach.

These pronouns were all third person. Now here are the same examples in the first and second persons.


Me a dheuth.
I came.
Che eth.
You went. (familiar)
Whei a ganas.
You sang. (plural or formal)
Me a lanhas.
I cleaned.
Che a goan.
You sing.
Whei a wary.
You play.
Me a resek.
I run.
Whei a dhesk.
You teach.
