- | ===== Personal Pronoun Inflections ===== | ||
- | |||
- | There are three inflections on personal pronouns: Possessive, reflexive and honorific. | ||
- | |||
- | * //-i// for the possessive form, for example //sai// means //my//. | ||
- | * //e// replaces the last letter for the accusative form, for example //se// means //me//.\\ Not an exception: The accusative form of //e// is still //e//. That being said, some dialects might render it as //y// instead.\\ Exception: The accusative form of // | ||
- | * // | ||
- | * //-qa// or //-qua// or //-kwa// (compound word usually capitalised) for the honorific form, for example //Nakwa// would be an honorific form of //you//. | ||
- | * //-qi// or //-qui// or //-kwi// (compound word usually capitalised) for the honorific possessive form, for example //Nakwi// would be an honorific form of //your//. | ||
- | |||
- | Note that //zetu// inflects as //Zetakwa// and //Zetakwi// rather than as //Zetukwa// and //Zetukwi// - though someone would definitely still be understood if they used latter. //e// inflects as //a// for the possessive form, but otherwise behaves normally (//Ekwa//, //Ekwi//). | ||
