The most important thing to realize is that each pronoun had a subjective and objective form, the subjective form is listed first and the objective from is listed second. The subjective form will be used if the pronoun takes the subject of the sentence and the objective form if it takes the objective form. The second thing is that some of these pronouns have plural forms, these are just like the singular forms but simply when referring to a group of the respective pronoun, while the number of pronouns may look daunting in reality it isn’t very many and its simply bundles information more tightly then in English.

In Si’irin conjugation happens using a system of modifiers, these are small words that are stuck on the end of words to add meaning, they are covered in more detail in the Sentence basics section but for now, I will introduce the five basic verbs that conjugate with pronouns. They are as follows: [sir]-> [ir/ri] meaning “to be”, [pitu]-> [it/ti] meaning “to have” , [da’ik]->[ik/ki] meaning “to make”, [id]-> [id/di] meaning “to feel” and [vos]->[os/so] meaning “to move”. These are put at the end of pronouns to encode meaning into them however, many of these combinations are irregular so you may need to consult my verb conjugation chart to see exactly what to use. You can also see examples of these being used in the examples section.

In order of there occurrence an explanation for each pronoun. [in], this is simple it means “I” . [na], this means “you”, specifically the person you are directly referring to. [nas], this is when referring or talking about a group of people, like the polar form of [na] or like “y’all” in English. [on], this is like “we” but is specifically when you are referring to a group that you and others are a part of. [ol] this is like [on] however, [on] is “all” of the people in a local area where [ol] is you and other people in your group but not the person/people you are talking to, in some situations they can be used interchangeably however when this happens you should default to [on].

[man], this is a simply that refers to a definite single person but where gender isn’t important or is unknown, like the English “they” in form. [manas], this is plural equivalent of [man] and acts as a group of people that are both male and female or doesn’t matter or is unknown. [son], this refers to a person that is male, the equivalent is “he”. [sonas], this is the plural form of [son] as in a group of boys. [se’i], this refers to a person that is female, the equivalent to “she”. [se’is], this is the plural form of [se’i] as in a group of girls.

[tu], this refers to an object however, this refers to a specific object that is of relative closeness to the speaker. whether something is close or far is determined based on its local position, its something hard to grasp at first but native speakers have an internal register of when things are close or far. [tus], this is a group of close objects, [tu] is a single plate on the table but [tus] would be the stack of plates. [ti], this is for far objects such as tree or a mountain. [tis], this is a plural form of [ti], such as trees or mountains.

[mun], this is another form of the third person however its eve more general then [man], [mun] refers to any person, in English this sometimes takes the form of “one” or “a person”. One can bake a cake, a person can bake a cake. it does not have a plural form but [munas] is both the objective form of the word and the noun that means humans/humanity, it can be confusing but it depends on where [munas] is places in the sentence and if other pronouns are in the sentence. The last pronoun is silent as it doesn’t exist but does grammatically, this is used for referring to the local environment or situation, ie ,“its hot” in English “it” can either be an object or the local area, in Si’irin when you want to refer to the environment you simply have no pronoun and use one of the five basic verbs on there own, in there full/original form.

If there is any confusion ( as is expected ), simply see the examples page for sentences where these are used.
