1st p.: мен (I), бис (we).
2nd p.: сен (you sing.), силер (you pl./formal).
3rd p.: ол (he/she), олар (they).

Note 1. Personal pronouns in the nominative case are usually used as the subject of a sentence.
For example: Сен кир – You come in. Силер кириңер – You come in. Бис кирдивис – We came in. Силер кирдиңер – You came in. Ол кирди – He came in. Олар кирдилер – They came in.
Note 2. At the end of a sentence, the words мен, сен, бис, силер indicate the person and number of the predicate. For example: Мен ажылдаар мен – I will work. Сен килир сен – You will come. Бис ажылдаар бис – We will work. Силер чугаалаар силер – You will say. Мен ажылчын мен – I am a worker. Сен башкы сен – You are a teacher. Силер аныяк силер - You are young. Бис бежелээн бис – There are five of us.
In such sentences, the subject can be omitted (you can say: Ажылчын болур мен. Келир сен. Ажылдаар бис. Чугаалаар силер), but the use of person and number indicators of the predicate is mandatory.

Exercises Exercises ▾

Exercise 1

Create short sentences with these verbs, using the words мен, сен, бис, силер in some sentences as the subject, and in others as the person and number marker of the predicate. Бижиир – to write; дыңнаар – to listen; дыңнаан – listened; өөренир – to study; билир – to know; алыр – to take; бээр – to give (give).

Exercise 2

Instead of periods, use the appropriate markers of person and number of the predicate where necessary. Explain why you used this marker and not another. Which sentences do not require markers of person and number?
You'll name them. - Силер адаар …
They will work. - Олар ажылдаар …
We will go. - Бис чоруур …
You are young. - Сен аныяк …
He will come in. - Ол кирер …
I am a doctor. - Мен эмчи …
They will come. - Олар келирлер …

Exercise 3

Read. Pay attention to the correct pronunciation of all the sounds in the words and identify their differences. Ал – аал; ол – оол; даш – дааш; ат – аът; сын – сыын; к=р – к==р; от – оът, эт – эът; чон – чоон; час – чаъс; кат – каът; чүк – чүък; сарыг – саарыг; бо – боо; дүн – дүүн.
