Kişi zamirleri

Personal pronouns: ben, sen, o, biz, siz, onlar

Learning Goal

Can use personal pronouns and their basic case forms

Exam Skills:KonuşmaYazma

Look at these examples. Can you spot the grammar pattern?

Ben Türk'üm, sen Alman'sın.

I am Turkish, you are German.

O çok güzel. O çok yakışıklı.

She is very beautiful. He is very handsome.

Bana bir çay ver, sana da alayım.

Give me a tea, let me get you one too.

Pay attention to the highlighted parts. What do they have in common?

Türkçe'de 6 kişi zamiri vardır:

KişiTekilÇoğul
1. kişiben (ben)biz (biz)
2. kişisen (sen)siz (siz / Siz)
3. kişio (o)onlar (onlar)

Önemli özellikler:

  • O = o/ona/onu — cinsiyet yok! Erkek veya kadın fark etmez.
  • Siz = siz (çoğul) VEYA kibar hitap (tek kişiye saygılı)
  • Zamirler genellikle düşürülebilir çünkü fiil eki kişiyi zaten gösterir: Geliyorum = Ben geliyorum

Hal ekleriyle:

YalınBelirtme (-i)Yönelme (-a)Ayrılma (-dan)
benbenbenibanabenden
sensensenisanasenden
ooonuonaondan

Dikkat: 'bana' ve 'sana' düzensizdir (bene/sene değil!).

Practice Exercises
Learners from gendered languages keep trying to distinguish 'he' and 'she' — Turkish 'o' covers both. Also 'bana/sana' are irregular. 🇬🇧 English speakers: Struggle without he/she distinction. Also tend to always include the pronoun (English is non-pro-drop).

Common Error Patterns

Tried to use a gendered pronoun form

Turkish 'o' means he/she/it — there is no gender distinction in pronouns

Used *bene or *sene instead of bana/sana

Memorize: ben → bana (not bene), sen → sana (not sene)

Ben Türk'üm, sen Alman'sın.

I am Turkish, you are German.

Ben (I) and sen (you-informal). Verb suffix shows person: -üm, -sın.

O çok güzel. O çok yakışıklı.

She is very beautiful. He is very handsome.

Both use 'o' — Turkish has NO gender in pronouns! Context shows the meaning.

Bana bir çay ver, sana da alayım.

Give me a tea, let me get you one too.

Bana (to me) and sana (to you) are IRREGULAR — not *bene or *sene!
