inh

-si (alternative enclitic)

ci (alternative)

with the first letter frequently capitalised as a sign of respect, and to distinguish them from third person subjects

Third person pronominal forms used as formal terms of address to refer to second person subjects. Unlike the singular forms

the plural forms are mostly antiquated terms of formal address in the modern language

and second person plural pronouns are almost always used instead

Se semo fatti sei chilometri a fette.

Volemose bene.

Se la smezzamo?

Ambo se poseremo in questo prato
 e domatina, come il giorno pare,
 ritornaremo insieme a battagliare.

1483, Matteo Maria Boiardo, Orlando Innamorato, I, XVIII, lines 37–39:

We will both lie down in this meadow
 and tomorrow morning, when the day appears,
 together we will go back to fight.
