How the Nodilani address each other

"In the whisper of 'I', we carry the echo of 'we'. To name oneself is to remember all."
— Old Endulani teaching
Drabàshabal uses a small, elegant set of pronouns that reflect the language’s focus on community, clarity, and memory. Most pronouns are short and fluid, making them easy to use in both spoken and poetic forms.
Personal Pronouns
Gender distinction is not made in pronouns; context provides meaning. Plural forms are often created with the suffix -i.
I: no
you (singular): da
he, she, it: te
we: noda (we both), nodai (we all)
you (plural): datei (you all)
they: tei
Possessive Pronouns
Possession is formed with a modified root:
mine: non
your (singular): dan
his, hers, its: ten
our: dano, danoi
your (plural): daten, datein
theirs: tein
Examples:
non borojul - my house
tein taralani - their warriors
danoi insha - our star
Demonstratives & Interrogatives
Drabàshabal uses 5 primary vowels, each with a stable, clear pronunciation:
this / that: te (also used as definite article)
where: udjan
from: ute djan (“what place”)
how much / how many: ushalel
these / those: tei
there: tedjan ("that place")
how: ulei (also means “like / as”)
what / who / which: ute
when: uran, from ute ran ("what time")
if / whether: vog
why / what for / to: vynute
Articles
Drabàshabal often omits articles unless clarity is needed. When used:
te = the (singular)
tei = the (plural)
