Levantine Arabic/Personal pronouns

In Levantine Arabic, pronouns can appear either as independent words or as suffixes, depending on their function.

Standalone forms
Standalone pronouns are used as subject preceding the verb. When used without a verb the meaning of "to be" is implied.

The pronouns can be omitted when the person is obvious by the conjugation of the verb.

Suffix forms
Suffix pronouns have different functions, depending on what kind of word they are attached to:
 * Show possession if attached to nouns
 * Object if attached to verbs or prepositions
 * Subject if attached to conjunctions

Some suffix pronouns have a different pronunciation if they are attached to a word ending in a vowel.

The suffix of the 1st person singular has a different form when attached to verb.

The suffix of the 3rd person masculine singular is silent after a vowel, but it has effect on the stress and vowel length.
