As a US Southerner, your use of the word "Y'all" brought a big smile to my face! People often say that it's "grammatically incorrect", but it gets the idea across very clearly, I'm glad you included it! 😄
Thank you for the video, very very helpful. I've already been able to share what I've learned from you . And your chamorro speaking videos are very motivating and encouraging . I will definitely recommend to anyone wanting to learn the chamorro language.
Ai Yu'us! Despensa for the late reply!!! To answer the question, yes there is a specific rules to use yu' instead of hu! Yu' pronoun is used to indicate first person singular intransitivity. You will usually find them in stative, intransitive type sentences, or as direct object pronouns in transitive sentences. Hu pronoun is used to indicate first person singular transitivity. You will usually find hu in transitive sentences. I know it's confusing, so here's concrete examples: stative sentence: Maolek yu' = I'm good NOT Maolek hu intransitive sentence: CHumocho yu' = I ate NOT CHumocho hu transitive sentence: Hu guaiya i taotao = I love the person NOT Yu' guaiya i taotao However, as mentioned already yu' can be used as a direct object pronoun in transitive sentences. Hu guaiya yu' = I love me. So in general, yu' and other yu' type pronouns are usually used in stative, intransitive or direct object pronouns in transitive sentences, while hu is used in transitive sentences. Hope this helps!

Is there a specific rule for when to use Yu' instead of hu?

Thank you
is there any possibility that "Yu" comes from Spanish word "Yo" meaning I ?
Malago’-hu komprendi mas gi chamorro lokkue’

Correction: "you" is actually plural not singular.
