===={{lang|ny|yénse}}, {{lang|ny|yékha}}, {{lang|ny|yémwe}}==== The three pronominal adjectives {{lang|ny|yénse}} 'all', {{lang|ny|yékha}} 'alone', {{lang|ny|yémwe}} 'that same' (or 'who') have the same pronominal concords {{lang|ny|yé-}} and {{lang|ny|(w)ó-}}, this time as prefixes: *{{lang|ny|Maláwi yénse}} 'the whole of Malawi' *{{lang|ny|aná ónse}} 'all the children' *{{lang|ny|yékha}} 'on his/her own' *{{lang|ny|ókha}} 'on their own' *{{lang|ny|mwaná yemwéyo}} 'that same child' *{{lang|ny|aná omwéwo}} 'those same children' In classes 2 and 6, {{lang|ny|ó-}} often becomes {{lang|ny|wó-}} (e.g. {{lang|ny|wónse}} for {{lang|ny|ónse}} etc.). The commonly used word {{lang|ny|álíyensé}} 'every' is compounded from the verb {{lang|ny|áli}} 'who is' and {{lang|ny|yénse}} 'all'. Both parts of the word have concords: *{{lang|ny|mwaná álíyensé}} 'every child' *{{lang|ny|aná awíri álíonsé}} 'every two children' *{{lang|ny|nyumbá ílíyonsé}} 'every house' (class 4) *{{lang|ny|chaká chílíchonsé}} 'every year' (class 7)
