ñande / ore / peẽ / haʼekuéra

We, You All and They

Level 1

Ñande and ore mean we, peẽ means you all and haʼekuéra means they.

How It Works

Pronoun	Meaning	Active prefix	Example
ñande	we, including you	ja-	Ñande jaha.
ore	we, not including you	ro-	Ore roho.
peẽ	you all	pe-	Peẽ pehóta.
haʼekuéra	they	o-	Haʼekuéra oho.

Haʼekuéra is haʼe plus the plural ending -kuéra. The verb is the same as for one person, so o- goes with haʼe and with haʼekuéra. To make the plural clear on the verb itself, add hikuái after it: Opuka hikuái “They laugh”.

The two words for “we” are the big difference from English. See We With You or Without You.

Like che and nde, these pronouns are optional, because the prefix on the verb already shows the person.
