What is the Sioux translation for he?

Answer 1

Lakota pronouns are generally in the form of prefixes before or suffixes after the verb:

ti: to dwell ..............wati = I dwell, yati = you dwell, tipi = they dwell (this is where the modern term tipi comes from).

For he or she there is no pronoun, just the simple, plain form of the verb, so:

ti: he or she dwells.

Similarly, yawa = to read ...............yawa = he or she reads

..............kan = to be old.................kan= he is old

................un = to use ...................un= he uses

So the third person (he or she) is not expressed but understood.
