Lessons In Crucian: Yo -Yu

Welcome back to #CrucianwithMami, today I am going to talk about the Crucian second person pronoun Yu sometimes said as Yo.

In Standard English you have four forms (You, Your, Yours, and Yourself) in Crucian there are also four forms (Yu, Yo, Yo’s, and Yoself)

I wish I could offer an in-depth explanation as to why we say Yoself in Crucian rather than Yurself but I feel like I’m learning about my own language alongside you!

Here are some sample sentences:

SE- You are a student.

Yu a student.

SE- Wash your hands.

Wash yo hand dem. (I will explain dem in another lesson)

SE- Is that yours?

Das yo’s?

SE- Did you do it by yourself?

Yu do it by yoself?

You can listen to the audio clip here:

In the next lesson, I will talk about the third person pronoun (male) He.
