Today we're learning how to introduce ourselves. First, let's look at the personal pronouns:

▶️ min – I

▶️ sin – you

▶️ ul  – he/she/it

▶️ alar – they

👩🏻 ▶️ Minem isemem ... – My name is ...

▶️ Sineñ isemeñ niçek? – What’s your name?

All the phrases mentioned above refer to a friend, for example. If you're talking to an unknown or older friend, replace sin with sez with the right suffixes. You can find the right conjugations in the Present Tense topic. Let's take a look at the dialog where the sez-form is used.
