Note :
Unlike in English, in Sinhala we use the
SAME WORD for the Subject Personal
Pronoun (SPP) and Object Personal
Pronoun (OPP). Example:
o SPP: I = mam
o OPP: me = mam

Lazy But Smart Tips :
When saying To [] and For []
o Just add t to the end of the
personal pronoun.
Exception: mat

When saying From []
o Just add gn to the end of the
personal pronoun.
Exceptions: magn, apn
o Or instead just add n to the end
of the possessive term (mag + n
= magn)
Exceptions: none
