What are Pronouns?

A pronoun is a noun that is used in place of another noun or name. English pronouns include I, you, he, she, it, they, and we. Pronouns form the base vocabulary of many languages.

This lesson covers all of the different dragon pronouns and their forms. Below is a list of every pronoun.

Subject	Object	Possessive	Reflexive
zu'u	zu'u	dii	zu'u
hi	hi	hin/him	hi
rok	rok	ok	rok
rek	rek	ek	rek
nii	nii		nimaar
nust	niin		niin
mu	mu	un	mu

Note where some vocabulary is unknown. We'll go over each column section by section below.

Subject

Subject pronouns are used as the subject of a sentence, also known as nominative case. For example, "I went to Whiterun" or "She is one of the Companions". In cases where a nominative pronoun is unknown (marked non-canon), it is assumed to be the same as the accusative pronoun. Below are all of the nominative pronouns:

I	z5	zu'u
You	hi	hi
He	rok	rok
She	rek	rek
It	n3	nii
They	nust	nust
We	mu	mu

The pronoun "hi" is pronounced like "hee".

Unlike English, the word for "I", "zu'u", is not always capitalized. The dragon language does not have uppercase or lowercase letters.

Object

Object pronouns are used as the object of a sentence, also known as accusative case. For example, "The dragon ate him" or "The king doesn't like them." Some are the same as the nominative case, like hi (you) and nii (it). In cases where an accusative pronoun is unknown (marked non-canon), it is assumed to be the same as the nominative pronoun. Below are all of the accusative pronouns:

Me	z9	dovah zu'u
You	hi	hi
Him	rok	rok
Her	rek	rek
It	n3	nii
Them	n3n	niin
Us	mu	mu

In rare cases, the word "dovah" can be used by a dragon to refer to oneself.

Possessive

Possessive determiners and possessive pronouns show possession, for example "my sword", "his crown", or "the day is ours". The possessive forms of a few pronouns are unknown.

My/Mine	d3	dii
Your/Yours	hin/him	hin/him
His	ok	ok
Her/Hers	ek	ek
Our/Ours	un	un

"Him" is used instead of "hin" with words that begin with "H", e.g. "him hind" ("your wish").

Reflexive

The reflexive column is for pronouns that refer to themselves. For cases where the reflexive is unknown, you may use the accusative form instead.

Myself	zu'u	zu'u
Yourself	hi	hi
Himself	rok	rok
Herself	rek	rek
Itself	nim1r	nimaar
Themselves	niin	niin
Ourselves	mu	mu
