Singular

Humaa
We
Nahnu

Antum

Antunna
they (plural masculine)
Hum

Hunna
I’m a boy = Ana walad! (
Ana = I, walad = boy) as you have noticed “am” and “a” are omitted in
Arabic, so it’s like saying “I boy”, same thing with all other subject pronouns. He is a boy = Howa
walad (he boy), we’re boys = Nahnu Awlad (we boys),
You may also have noticed that Arabic has a “dual” form, meaning that Arabic is being more specific
about not only the gender but also the number, so the dual form is used to refer to
two people, so if
you want
to talk to Salim and Karim by telling them: you both speak Arabic! = Antuma
tatakallamani al ‘arabia, if you want to talk
about them: they both speak Arabic = Humaa
yatakalamani al ‘arabia.
For the plural there are five pronouns, We = Nahnu (for females and males). You = Antum (when you
talk to 3 males or more, or one male and the 2 females or more)
You = Antunna (when you talk to 3 females or more). They = Hum (when you talk about 3 males or
more, or one male and the 2 females or more). They = Hunna (when you talk about 3 females or
more)
