Pronouns
Pronouns, like those in the other Finno-Ugric langs, inflect for case and number, but not for gender.
Personal Pronouns
Personal Pronouns are taken mostly from the Finnic langs. Their influence is considerably more that of Estonian than that of Finnish.

Reflexive Pronoun
The reflexive particle is itjé. This follows the verb and uses one of the possessive endings to agree with the person.
Relative Pronoun
Unlike other Finnic langs, there is only one relative pronoun in Jónné. This is mí and it's optionally inflecting.
Indefinite Pronouns
There are a number of indefinite pronouns in Jónné kjél. The ones available so far are:
- jaungu = somebody
- jaungénen = everybody
While/During
To say that something occurs while something else is happening, you use the word méllän before the second verb.
Physical passing
To say that something is physically gone, that is, it was here but it has left, you would use the word bujéz with the copula.
Verbs
Verbs conjugate in the present tense similar to the copula verb áulla except that the third person forms are irregular. There is also a negative verb that can be conjugated to negate verbs.
