Arabic Subject Pronouns

 

Singular	Dual	Plural
I   أنا  Ana   you (singular masculine.)   أنتَ Anta   you (singular feminine)     أنتِ  Anti    he   هو Howa   she هي Hiya	you (dual male or female) أنتُما  Antuma   they (dual male or female) هُما  Humaa	We  نحنُ Nahnu   you (plural masculine)  أنتُم Antum   you (plural feminine)  أنتُنَّ Antunna   they (plural masculine)  هُم Hum   they (plural feminine)  هُنَّ Hunna

 

I’m a boy = Ana walad! (Ana = I, walad = boy) as you have noticed “am” and “a” are omitted in Arabic, so it’s like saying “I boy”, same thing with all other subject pronouns. He is a boy = Howa walad (he boy), we’re boys = Nahnu Awlad (we boys),

You may also have noticed that Arabic has a “dual” form,  meaning that Arabic is being more specific about not only the gender but also the number, so the dual form is used to refer to two people, so if you want to talk to Salim and Karim by telling them: you both speak Arabic! =  Antuma tatakallamani al ‘arabia, if you want to talk about them: they both speak Arabic = Humaa yatakalamani al ‘arabia.

For the plural there are five pronouns, We = Nahnu (for females and males). You = Antum (when you talk to 3 males or more, or one male and the 2 females or more)

You = Antunna (when you talk to 3 females or more). They = Hum (when you talk about 3 males or more, or one male and the 2 females or more). They = Hunna (when you talk about 3 females or more)
