Template:Ttsx (人稱代名詞; personal pronouns; ref. to Chinese pronouns and 臺灣閩南語常用代名詞)

Template:TtsX (我; I/me)

Template:TtsX / Template:TtsX (阮^†; we (exclusive))

usually means "we" (not including listener). Can also mean you (singular) in a polite manner. For example, "How are we doing today?" to really mean "How are you doing today?"
"Lie aix khix tøfui?" (normal)
A girl asks her boyfriend, "Goarn aix khix tøfui?" (polite). Equivalent to "Lie aix..." but it's more inclusive.
goarn-taw, goarn-amar
Gurn is more common in the north
Goarn is used in the south (Tvafkao and Tailaam)
- However, in Tailaam, goarn is used for males; gurn is used for females

Template:TtsX (咱^†; we (inclusive))

The inclusive "larn" may be used to express politeness or solidarity, as in the example of a speaker asking a stranger "Where do we live?", but meaning "Where do you live?".
- Speaker asks stranger, "Larn toax ti tøfui?"
- Speaker means, "Lie toax ti tøfui?" in a polite manner.

Template:TtsX (你^†; (singular) you)

Template:Ttsx (恁^†; (plural) you/(possessive) your)
