Talking to a Group

In Lesson 10.1, you mastered the 5 singular pronouns (I, You-M, You-F, He, She). But what do you say when you're talking to a group of people? Look at the examples first!

أَنْتُمْ طُلَّابٌ

Antum tullaabun

You all (M) are students

أَنْتُمْ — You all (Masc.)

أَنْتُنَّ طَالِبَاتٌ

Antunna taalibaat

You all (F) are students

أَنْتُنَّ — You all (Fem.)

The Rule

Arabic distinguishes whether a group is male or female. The 2nd Person Plural has two separate pronouns depending on the gender of the group you're addressing.

Complete Pronoun Reference: Singular + Plural

Person	Pronoun	Pronunciation	Meaning
— Singular (from Lesson 10.1) —
1st (Sing.)	أَنَا	Ana	I
2nd M (Sing.)	أَنْتَ	Anta	You (M)
2nd F (Sing.)	أَنْتِ	Anti	You (F)
3rd M (Sing.)	هُوَ	Huwa	He
3rd F (Sing.)	هِيَ	Hiya	She
— Plural (NEW TODAY) —
2nd M (Plural)	أَنْتُمْ	Antum	You all (M)
2nd F (Plural)	أَنْتُنَّ	Antunna	You all (F)

Note: 3rd-person plural pronouns (هُمْ, هُنَّ, نَحْنُ) are covered in Lesson 17.2, once you've studied plural nouns and sound plurals.
