When is the object is a pronoun, you need an OBJECT PRONOUN. (weird, huh?) The verb will still conjugate based on the subject (aka the "do-er" of the verb).
Object Pronouns
Me = i
You = ku
Him = (no obj pronoun)
Her = (no obj pronoun)
We = na
You All = idin
Them = (no obj pronoun)
John baa i baray John taught me
John baa ku baray John taught you
John baa na baray John taught us
John baa idin baray John taught you all
*John baa baray John taught him/her/them
John baa isaga/iyada/iyaga John taught him/her/them
[USED with verbal pronoun]
Wey i bareen They taught me
Wey ku bareen They taught you
Wey na bareen They taught us
Wey idin bareen They taught you all
*Wey bareen They taught him/her/them
Wey isaga/iyada/iyaga bareen They taught him/her/them
The basic breakdown of the sentence is:
SUBJ + (mood classifier waa/baa if you didn't use a verbal pronoun) + OBJ PRONOUN + VERB
*The 3rd person forms (him/her/them) are not expressed and the only way to differentiate is by context. To specifically reference someone in the 3rd person you need to use the pronoun.
