Thread: Personal pronouns

A lesson on personal pronouns http://masterrussian.com/aa110100a.shtml

"я" конечно =)

When I'm talking I use Я very rarely. Then again I don't use other pronouns very often either.

Я хочу есть, я пойду в магазин etc - как ты говоришь без "я" интересно? ))

Кушать хочу. Пойду в магазин. (They may be bad, but it's what I say :P.)

When I write I use all the pronouns, but somehow it feels right to just say "что-то хочу." rather than "я хочу что-то."

А в чем смысл этого? :))

I'm not a native speaker and I am by no means fluent, so I understand that my way is probably the wrong way. Do you ever just omit the pronoun? Of course. Понял?

no BlackMage you speak it properly - both ways are right.

Как я понял ты не говоришь "я" из принципа. Вот тут в чем смысл? :)

я

Has anyone got the Frequency dictionary?

Thanks, I'm missing the instrumental personal pronouns from my grammar stash. In fact, I didn't even know the proper name for that case .

Я

Out of every 1,000,000 words, "Я" occurs about 15,631.11 times.

on the other hand ...

Out of every 1,000,000 words, "Он" occurs about 18,942.62 times.

"Он" ranks the 4th most popular Russian word.
So for all you people who guessed "Я", YOUR WRONG!
