27 words on the topic

  • jo
    I
    Speakers usually drop it: the verb ending already says who acts. Jo appears for emphasis
  • tu
    you (informal)
    People switch to tu quickly here — even with a shopkeeper. Moving to vostè signals distance, not default politeness
  • vostè
    you (polite)
    The polite «you» — for strangers and elders. Its verb is in the third person: «vostè és» — you are
  • ell
    he
    Works for things too when they are masculine — grammar follows the noun's gender, not its animateness
  • ella
    she
    The plural elles is for women only; ells covers men and mixed company
  • nosaltres
    we
    No gender: one we for men and women alike — simpler here than in Spanish
  • ells
    they
    ells covers men and mixed company; elles is women only. One man is enough to pick ells
  • el meu
    my
    The masculine form; before a feminine noun it turns into la meua. Articles come with it, as with every noun

    your (informal)

    one's own
    Emphasizes that the thing belongs to the person himself: amb els meus propis ulls — with my own eyes

How to learn the set instead of just reading it

I, you, we, they. There is a handful of them, they turn up in every sentence, and politeness rides on them: most of these languages keep a formal “you” apart from a familiar one, and choosing the wrong one is noticed faster than a mispronounced word.

A list is read in a minute and forgotten in a day. What works: hide the translation, try to recall, get it wrong — and come back to the same words tomorrow.
