66 Chapter 8 Pronouns Voornaamworden 8.1 Personal pronouns Persoonlijke voornaamwoorden There are two series of personal pronouns, subject and object pronouns. The forms in the right-hand columns are the unemphatic forms; those that are not normally written are given in brackets. Some pronouns do not have unemphatic forms. Subject Object Singular 1 ik1 (’k) mij me 2 jij je jou je u u 3 hij2 (ie) hem2 (’m) zij2 ze haar2, 3 (’r, d’r) het2, 4 (’t) het2 (’t) Plural 1 wij we ons 2 jullie je jullie je u u 3 zij4, 5 ze hen/hun5 ze (people) die ze (things and people) 1 An extra emphatic form ikke also exists in the spoken language only, e.g. Jij hebt mijn fiets gestolen, nietwaar? Wat, ikke? ‘You stole my bike, didn’t you? Who, me?’ 2 Neuter words referring to male or female beings (e.g. het jongetje, het meisje, het wijf) are replaced by masculine or feminine pronouns (see also 8.5.2, n. 14), e.g. Het jongetje is ziek geworden maar hij wordt zeker beter ‘The little boy is sick but he’s sure to get better’.
