Afrikaans personal pronouns : I

A personal pronoun is what we call the English words 'I', 'you', 'he', 'she', 'we' and 'they'. Just like English, Afrikaans has a set of personal pronouns. The Afrikaans word for 'I' is 'ek'. The word 'ek' is generally used as the subject of a verb ('I go', 'I see', 'I work' etc.). The Afrikaans word for 'me' is generally 'my'. The word 'my' is typically used with prepositions.

Examples

ek ook nie

me neither

slegs ek

just me

nie ek nie

not me

en ek ?

and me ?
