I, me, you, your, you're, my, etc. in Korean...
니, 넌, 난, 내, 너, 나, 널, 날, 제, 저.
I understand that these words mean you, me, I, my etc., but I get confused on which is which! Can anybody explain to me the meaning of each??

Question

I, me, you, your, you're, my, etc. in Korean...
니, 넌, 난, 내, 너, 나, 널, 날, 제, 저.
I understand that these words mean you, me, I, my etc., but I get confused on which is which! Can anybody explain to me the meaning of each??
(\('o' )/)

Answer

1. 니 is more like a Seoul dialect meaning "너(you)"

2. 넌,난,날,널 are short for 너는, 나는, 나를, 너를 respectively.

3. 내 can be considered as two ways, 
     1) a contraction of "나의", 2) a subject with "가", which is "내가"
      e.g. 내 가방 = 나의 가방 = my bag / 내가 했어 = I did.

4. 제 is the humble form of  내
      e.g. 제 가방 = 저의 가방 = my bag / 제가 했어요 = I did.

5. 저 is the humble form of 나 
     1) as a subject, 저는 or 제가 2) as an object,  저를(or 절)

In a nutshell,
1. 나, 나는(난, as a topic), 나를(날, object), 나의(내, my), 내가(subject)
2. 저, 저는(전, as a topic), 저를(절, object), 저의(제, my), 제가(subject)
3. 너, 너는(넌, as a topic), 너를(널, object), 너의(네, your), 네가(subject)
