The Eilauner personal pronouns have only two forms: the nominative and the accusative-dative. The accusative has merged with the dative in Eilauners.

The nominative forms are:

• Ik, ‘k, I (first person singular)
• Dò, ‘ste, thou/you (second person singular informal)
• Jy, je, you (second person singular formal)
• Hy, he (masculine 3rd person singular)
• Jò, se, she (feminine 3rd person singular)
• It, ‘t, it (neuter 3rd person singular).
• Wy, we, we (1st person plural).
• Jimme, you or you guys (2nd person plural).
• Jà, they (3rd person plural).

Jy, je is a very polite, respectful form. So it is a honorific in Eilauners.

The accusative-dative forms are:

• My, (to/for) me.
• Dy, (to/for) thee.
• Him, ‘m, (to/for) him.
• Har, (to/for) her.
• It, it (only used as accusative).
• Us (small letters: ús), (to/for) us.
• Jimme (same as nominative), you.
• Har (same as feminine 3rd pers. accusative), (to/for) them.

The accusative-dative forms are always used after prepositions and they may also be used in conjunction with certain adjectives or verbs:

• Ik jeeuw dit geschink oon (preposition) dy. I give this present to you.
• It is my fraimd (adjective). It is alien to me.
• Ik jeeuw (verb) dy dit geschink. I give you this present.
• Ik bin (verb) dy net. I am not you.
