Lombard/Subject personal pronouns

Subject personal pronouns
Lombard has two types of personal subject pronouns: strong subject pronouns and weak subject pronouns (or redundant subjects).

Strong subject pronouns can be omitted.

Weak subject pronouns are usually always obligatory for the 2nd and 3rd person singular in all dialects, while for other persons they are obligatory depending on the dialect. Their use in sentence construction is explained in the module on sentence construction.

Alpine Lombard
* the difference between “lor” and “lore” is often only graphic in New Lombard Orthography because in most dialects there is no difference in pronunciation between masculine and feminine

Weak subjects
They are indicated in brackets when they are not mandatory.

* The universal pronoun is used for the impersonal form and sometimes takes the place of the weak third person singular pronoun in the particular cases described about the construction of the sentence. (in brackets the cases in which it is not mandatory)
