==Number==
Pronouns are grammatically unmarked for {{w|Grammatical number|number}}, meaning that any pronoun may be singular or plural. If number need be specified, it can be added as a [[modifier]], such as {{Exampletp|mi [[mutewan]]}} ('I'), {{tp|mi [[tu]]}} ('us two'), {{tp|mi [[mute]]}} ('we'),<ref group="lower-alpha">Similarly to other content words, {{tp|[[mute]]}} is generally reserved for three or more individuals. If "we" refers to two people it is more common to use {{tp|mi tu}} or just {{tp|mi}} instead of {{tp|mi mute}}.</ref> and {{tp|mi [[ale]]}} ('we all').▼
Pronouns are generally unmarked for [[number]]. They can be either singular or plural:
 
{{Example
| mi
| I/me<br/>we/us
}}
 
{{Example
| sina
| you<br/>you (plural)
}}
 
{{Example
| ona
| it, she/her, he/him, singular they/them<br/>they/them
}}
 
If number must be specified, it can be added as a [[modifier]]:
 
{|
|{{Example|mi [[wan]]|I}}
|{{Example|mi [[tu]]|us two}}
▲|{{Example|mi [[mute]]|we<ref group="lower-alpha">Similarly to other content words, {{tp|mute}} is generally reserved for three or more individuals. If "we" refers to two people it is more common to use {{tp|mi tu}} or just {{tp|mi}} instead of {{tp|mi mute}}.</ref>}}
|{{Example|mi [[ale]]|we all}}
|}
 
==Possessives==
Line 56 ⟶ 32:
If the [[subject]] of a [[sentence]] is only {{tp|mi}} or only {{tp|sina}}, the particle {{tp|[[li]]}}, that would usually follow it, is dropped.
 
{{Example|mi pona. ijo mi <insmark>li</insmark> pona.}}
{{Example|sina pona. sina kin <insmark>li</insmark> pona.}}
{{Example|mi en sina <insmark>li</insmark> pona.}}
{{Example|ona <insmark>li</insmark> pona.}}
 
=={{tp|sitelen pona}}==
The {{tp|[[sitelen pona]]}} glyphs for {{tp|mi}} ({{UCSUR char|{{codepoint|mi}}}}), {{tp|sina}} ({{UCSUR char|{{codepoint|sina}}}}), and {{tp|ona}} ({{UCSUR char|{{codepoint|ona}}}}) are composed of a circle and a stem line originating from it, possibly representing hands pointing at the direction of the person. These may be drawn with either a straight or curved stem. Rarely, these may also be drawn mirrored as of the standard versions.
