Subject personal pronouns edit

Lombard has two types of personal subject pronouns: strong subject pronouns and weak subject pronouns (or redundant subjects).

Strong subject pronouns can be omitted.

Weak subject pronouns are usually always obligatory for the 2nd and 3rd person singular in all dialects, while for other persons they are obligatory depending on the dialect. Their use in sentence construction is explained in the module on sentence construction.
