Nahuatl incorporates most pronouns into the system of verbal prefixes. However free-standing pronouns exist which may be used to place special stress on the subject, object, or possessor indicated by a prefix. Caution: These intensifying pronouns do not necessarily intensify only a subject!
| Intensifying Pronouns | |
|---|---|
| neh.huatl = I | teh.huän(tin) = we |
| teh.huatl = you (s) | ameh.huän(tin) = you (p) |
| yeh.huatl = s/he | yeh.huän(tin) = they |
Challenge: The last three examples are all built on tahtli = father.
