Pronouns

الْضَّمَاْئِرُ
Pronoun belong to the category of "nouns". Pronouns in Arabic have genders, numbers, and grammatical case and they are always definite nouns. Anyway, there are 6 categories for Arabic pronouns :

1) Subject Pronouns For Singular
Singular pronouns are words such as "I", "You", "She", "He", e.t.c.

المفرد
Singular
I
(أنا) - Ana
You - Masc
(إنت) - Enta
You - Fem
(إنتي) - Enti
He
(هو) - Huwwa
She
(هي) - Hiya

NOTE : Arabic distinguishes between a male "you" (enta) and a female "you" (enti).

2) Subject Pronouns For Plural
Plural pronouns are words such as "We", They" and "Them".

الجمع
Plural
We
(احنا) - Ehna
You
(انتو) - Entu
They
(هم) - Hum


Examples for (1) and (2)

NOTE : there is no equivalent of the English "Verb to be" such "Am", "Is" and "Are" in Arabic. So you can make simple sentences and question without any "verb to be".

- Ana Yusoof
I (am) Yusoof

- Huwa Kareem
He (is) Kareem

- Hiya min masr
She (is) from Egypt
