Usage notes

edit
  • For the most part, Macanese does not have pronoun inflections (accusative, dative, etc.). The exception is mi,[1] the prepositional form of iou, but even this is extremely rare in modern Macanese. One may encounter pa mi (for me) in older texts, which in modern Macanese would typically simply be pa iou.
