In this unit you will learn the personal pronouns in Quechua that will help us address people and\/or talk about objects that are singular or plural. In the same way, we invite you to interact with the multimedia material such as graphics and audios. The exercises that are presented in the final part will help you further explore what you learn in this unit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I<\/td>I<\/td><\/tr>
You<\/td>You<\/td><\/tr>
She\/he<\/td>She\/He<\/td><\/tr>
\u00d1uqanchis<\/td>We (inclusive)<\/td><\/tr>
\u00d1uqayku<\/td>We (exclusive)<\/td><\/tr>
Qankuna<\/td>You (plural)<\/td><\/tr>
Paykuna<\/td>They<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now we will conjugate the personal pronoun \"I\" (\u00f1uqa or noqa) with the verb \"llank'ay\" (to work):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pronoun<\/strong><\/th>Verb llank'ay
(\"ni\" is the marker of the 1st person who does the action)<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
\u00d1uqa – noqa<\/td>llank’ani<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>
I<\/td>work<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Ready?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 7 personal pronouns, 3 of which are singular and 4 which are plural, let's look at the following table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/em> Keep in mind that \u00d1uqa can also be replaced with Noqa. Both correspond to a dialectal variation and are valid. The same happens with the pronouns \u00f1uqanchis, \u00f1uqayku which can be replaced with noqanchis, noqayku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let's take a look at the following table:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Personal Pronouns in Quechua<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Singular – Ch’ulla<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I<\/td>I<\/td><\/tr>
You<\/td>You<\/td><\/tr>
She\/he<\/td>She\/He<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Plural – Ashka<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00d1uqanchis<\/td>We (inclusive)<\/td><\/tr>
\u00d1uqayku<\/td>We (exclusive)<\/td><\/tr>
Qankuna<\/td>You (plural)<\/td><\/tr>
Paykuna<\/td>They<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Inclusive (I):<\/strong> You are including yourself in the group, and also including the group that you are addressing.
Exclusive (E):<\/strong> You are including yourself in the group, but you are not including the group you are addressing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For practice we will listen and practice the pronunciation of the personal pronouns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
