Personal Pronouns
Due to the extensive case-system of Võro, there are many pronouns which need remembering. However, this is simplified as most of them in the cases are built off the Genitive case pronouns. Also making it simpler, is a lack of distinction between male and female pronouns, however, most pronouns have a short as well as long version making personal pronouns quite extensive in their numbers. Below is a table with the basic pronouns in Nominative, Partitive and Genitive. For help on pronouncing the additional letters to the Võro language which Estonian does not have, see the Võro Sounds page.
| Nominative Long | Nominative Short | Partitive | Genitive | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1sg | mina | ma | minno | muq |
| 2sg | sina | sa | sinno | suq |
| 3sg | timä/tiä | tä | tedä | timä |
| 1pl | miiq | mi | meid | mii |
| 2pl | tiiq | ti | teid | tii |
| 3pl | nimäq | nääq | näid | näide |
