[edit]
  • Subject (direct) pronouns are most commonly placed after the verb, or the first noun of the nominal predicate that they modify. Pronouns in this position are almost always in their short form (in this case, ko); the full form (ako) may be used to make the sentence sound more formal, or it may be placed before the verb or noun which gives the same effect.
    nikaon ko og mansanas ― I ate an apple (casual)
    nikaon ako og mansanas ― I ate an apple (formal)
    ako nikaon og mansanas ― I ate an apple (formal)
