====Usage notes====
* As a second-class pronoun, {{m|yrl||i}} is used as the subject of a sentence when its verb is a second-class one (those verbs are sometimes referred to as adjectives). The personal pronoun {{m|yrl||i}} is also used when governed by any postposition with the exception of {{l|yrl|arama}}. Unlike other second-class pronouns, {{m|yrl||i}} is used when governed by the postposition {{l|yrl|supé}}. Finally, {{m|yrl||i}} is used as a possessive pronoun as well.

==North Frisian==

===Etymology 1===

====Pronunciation====
* {{IPA|frr|[ə]|qq=reduced vowel}}
* {{IPA|frr|[ɪ]|qq=short full vowel}}
* {{IPA|frr|[iː]|qq=long vowel, spelt ''ii''}}

====Letter====
{{head|frr|letter|lower case||upper case|I}}

# {{Latn-def|frr|letter|indef=1}}

=====Usage notes=====
* The reduced vowel is mostly represented by ⟨{{l|frr|e}}⟩. The alternative use of ⟨{{l|frr||i}}⟩ is restricted to the insular dialects:
** In Föhr-Amrum Frisian, it only occurs when the suffix {{m|frr||-n}} is added to a word whose basic form ends in {{m|frr||-e}}. For example, {{m|frr||fraagin}} is infinitive II of {{m|frr|fraage|t=to ask}}, distinguished from {{m|frr||fraagen}}, the plural of {{m|frr|fraag|t=question}}.
** In Sylt Frisian, any word-final {{IPAchar|[ə]}} is spelt ⟨{{l|frr||i}}⟩. It remains before inflectional {{m|frr||-n}} or {{m|frr||-s}}, but changes to ⟨{{l|frr||e}}⟩ before other suffixes. For example, {{m|frr|fraagi}} → {{m|frr||fraagin}}, but {{m|frr|[[dü]] fraagest}}. Moreover, ⟨{{l|frr||i}}⟩ occurs in the prefix {{m|frr|bi-}} and word-internally in adapted borrowings ({{m|frr|g'''i'''nau}} from German, {{m|frr|Jan'''i'''waari}} from Latin).

=====Usage notes=====
* As for other Romance languages, such as Neapolitan or Portuguese, Sicilian definite articles have undergone a consonant lenition that has led to the phonetic fall of the initial ''l''. The use of this illiquid variant has not yet made the use of liquid variants disappear, but today it is still the prevalent use in speech and writing.
* In the case of the production of literary texts, such as singing or poetry, or of formal and institutional texts, resorting to "liquid articles" and "liquid articulated prepositions" confers greater euphony to the text, although it may sound a form of courtly recovery.
* Illiquid definite articles can be phonetically absorbed by the following noun. I.e: ''l'arancini'' (liquid) and ''ârancini'' (illiquid).

=====Usage notes=====
Use of '''i''' as a conjunction in Slovene is obsolete and not well-known, so most nowadays speakers usually relate it with other Slavic languages rather than with old Slovene. Nowadays, its derivative, {{l|sl|in}} is used, which is etymologically speaking a stressed variant, but has since lost the initial difference.

As opposed to {{l|sl|in}}, '''i''' can be pronounced as stressed or unstressed form in all contexts (but if taken out of context, only the stressed version is allowed) whereas ''in'' is stressed only if taken out of context.

#: {{ux|cy|Aethon nhw '''i'''ʼr ysbyty.|They went '''to''' the hospital.}}
# [[for]] (a recipient)
#: {{ux|cy|Mae’r jem '''i''' Siân.|The jewel is '''for''' Siân.}}

# [[that]]
#: {{ux|cy|Maen nhw’n dweud '''iddi''' hi yfed gormod o gwrw.|They say '''that''' she drank too much beer.}}

=====Usage notes=====
* {{m|cy||I}} is often used to indicate direction "to" a place or "(in order) to" do an action in contrast to {{m|cy|at}}, which indicates direction "to" a person.
** {{uxi|cy|Rwy'n mynd '''i''''r feddygfa.|I'm going '''to''' the surgery.}}
** {{uxi|cy|Rwy'n mynd '''i''' weld y meddyg.|I'm going '''to''' see the surgery.}}
** {{uxi|cy|Rwy'n mynd '''at''' y meddyg.|I'm going '''to''' the doctor.}}
: See {{m|cy|o}} for a similar distinction for "from".
* The literary language distinguishes between unemphatic personal forms and personal forms with emphasis on the pronoun.
** {{uxi|cy|Rhaid '''inni''' fynd.|'''We''' must go. (no particular emphasis)}}
** {{uxi|cy|Rhaid '''i ni''' fynd.|'''We''' must go. (emphasis on ''we'')}}
: In less formal language, this distinction is not made in writing.
:* {{uxi|cy|Rhaid '''i ni''' fynd.|'''We''' must go. (no particular emphasis)}}
* Used as a [[preterite|preterite tense]] form of ‘that’. The subject moves to the front of the subordinate clause, directly following ''i'', and the verb changes back to its verbal noun form.
