je

Je is a term with several uses in human languages, most notably as a pronoun in French. In French, je is the first-person singular subject pronoun meaning "I." It is used to mark the speaker as the subject of a verb and, in writing, is capitalized only when it begins a sentence. When the following word begins with a vowel or a mute h, je typically elides to j’ (as in j’aime or j’habite). In negations, it appears with the standard ne … pas construction.

In Dutch, je is the informal second-person pronoun meaning "you" and can also function as a possessive
