Pronouns are often not used in everyday language. They are replaced by nicknames or related terms, depending on the relationship with the speaker. In formal language, pronouns are more often retained and more formal pronouns are used. Pronouns can be pluralized by adding ພວກ (phuak / pʰuak /) before: ພວກ ເຈົ້າ (/pʰuak.tɕao/) for "you plural".
