No. 258 in Armenian
ինքը
The Armenian word "ինքը" means "he/she/it" (emphasized form) or "himself/herself/itself."
In a sentence
Ինքը շատ բարի մարդ է։
He/She is a very kind person.
Here, 'ինքը' is used as the third-person singular pronoun in nominative case, referring to a specific individual as the subject of the sentence.
Ես հարցրեցի իր հետ, ինքը պատասխրեց։
I asked him/her, and he/she answered.
In this example, 'ինքը' is serving as the third-person singular pronoun in nominative case, functioning as the subject that performs the action of answering.
Նա ասաց, որ ինքը դեռ չի պատրաստվել։
He/She said that he/she hasn’t prepared yet.
'Ինքը' is used here to refer back to the original subject (third-person singular) mentioned earlier in the sentence, acting as a reflexive pronoun within the reported speech.
