Emphatic Pronouns

As you know, I, you, we, and you folks are usually expressed in Halq'eméylem as -tsel, -chexw, -tset, and -chap, respectively. Sometimes you will want to add special emphasis onto these words, as for example in making a contrast to a previous statement. In such cases, there is a series of special words for adding emphasis (some of which you have learned before), as follows:


(1) (a) ta'á'altha emphasizes 'I' (or 'me')

(b) teléwe emphasizes 'you'

(c) telhlímelh emphasizes 'we' (or 'us')

(d) talhwélep emphasizes 'you folks' 


These emphasis words (which linguists call emphatic pronouns) are usually used together with the endings, as in these examples:



(2) (a) Í:mextsel ta'á'altha. I am walking.

(b) Í:mexchexw teléwe. You are walking.

(c) Í:mextset telhlímelh. We are walking.

(d) Í:mexchap talhwélep. You folks are walking. 


In certain constructions, however, these emphasizing words can also be used alone. One construction where they appear without -tsel, -tset, etc. is when using sentences with tl'ó (it is) in which case you will use a pattern as in these examples:


(3) (a) Tl'ó ta'á'altha. It is me.

(b) Tl'ó teléwe. It is you.

(c) Tl'ó talhlímelh. It is us.

(d) Tl'ó talhwélep. It is you folks.6

(e) Tl'ó ta'á'altha kwúkw. I'm the one who cooks.

(f) Tl'ó teléwe kwúkw. You're the one who cooks.

(g) Tl'ó talhlímelh kwúkw. It is us who cooks.

(h) Tl'ó talhwélep kwúkw. It is you folks who cook.
