Welcome back to #CrucianwithMami, in the last lesson I mentioned that I was going to focus on the 3rd person pronoun He but I felt like it made more sense to talk about both He and She since they are very similar.
In Standard English, He and She both have four forms (He, She, Him, Her, His, Hers, Himself, and Herself) in Crucian He and She also have four forms (He, She, Hiz, Ha, He own, She own, Heself, and Sheself).
As you no doubt noticed we don’t say Him or Her it’s He and She, once more I don’t exactly know why but I’m sure there’s a reason for that.
Here are the sample sentences:
Subject Pronouns
SE: He is not going to like this one.
He’n gon like dis one.
SE: She is not a fan of this color.
She’n a fan of dis cula.
Object Pronouns
SE: Is that him over there?
Das he ova deh?
SE: Is that her dancing in the corner?
Das she dancing in deh corna?
Possessive Adjectives
SE: That’s his chain.
Das hiz chain
SE: That’s her children.
Das ha children
Possessive Pronouns
SE: That car is his.
Da cyar is he own
SE: That child is hers.
Da chile is she own.
Reflexive Pronouns
SE: You see all of that? He did it by himself.
You see all ah dat deh? He did it all by heself.
SE: She made that dress all by herself.
She make dah dress all by sheself
While I was doing this lesson I realized that sometimes instead of Hiz or Ha I sometimes will use He or She, I hadn’t noticed until I started forming the sentences. I find that very interesting because by itself I will say Hiz for his and Ha for hers but in a sentence, it is more natural to say He or She.
In the next lesson, I will talk about 3rd thing, It or Ih as we say in Crucian.
