The personal pronouns are not declined as such, but some do have particular forms.

• The first person plural has alternative forms based on sinn and muid.
• The second person singular may lenite when used objectively (but is subject to the dntls rule).
• Third person pronouns drop their initial s when used with the copula, and objectively.

Forms are shown in the summary table below for use:

• with the copula: Is é.
• with analytic verb forms:
  • as subject, aka conjunctive: Feiceann sé.
  • as object, aka disjunctive: Feiceann sé thú.
• emphatically: Is mise
  • -sa: mise, tusa, sise, sibhse
  • -san: (s)eisean, (s)iadsan
  • -ne: sinne, muidne

The possessive pronouns are not declined.

An example of synthetic forms is also shown, for standard and dialect/archaic declensions.

The etymology table shows how irish pronouns derive, in whole or in part, from the reconstructed Proto-Indo-European pronouns *éǵh₂, *túh₂ and *éy.
