Person Second
|
|
=============

Summary
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
The second person form of a term refers to the person(s) being addressed by a writer or speaker.

-------
|
|
|
|
In English, the second person pronouns are "you" and "your," used for both singular and plural. In Biblical Aramaic, terms which
|
|
are marked for second personal can change form according to both gender (:ref:`masculine<gender_masculine>` and
|
|
:ref:`feminine<gender_feminine>`) and number (:ref:`singular<number_singular>` or :ref:`plural<number_plural>`). In Biblical Aramaic,
|
|
:ref:`verbs<verb>`, :ref:`pronouns<pronoun_personal>`, and :ref:`pronominal suffixes<suffix_pronominal>` can all be marked
|
|
for third person.
|
|
|
|
Neither English nor Aramaic have a formal second person address. In many languages (including German, Spanish, and French),
|
|
a speaker addresses God using an informal address. In some other languages, such as Dutch, a speaker addresses God using a
|
|
formal address. For more information, see `translationAcademy <http://ufw.io/academy/>`_ and

Form
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
In Biblical Aramaic, a term marked for second person can be recognized by a variety of
|
|
changes to the form. These changes differ greatly from each other, so it is difficult to sum them up
|
|
in a simple, helpful way. The paradigm below shows a sample of the kinds of changes that signal a second person form.
