In this unit, you will learn the possessive suffixes that pertain to each personal pronoun. For this, keep in mind that the possessive suffix will vary depending on the ending of each word (if it ends in a vowel or consonant).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same way, we will use the possessive suffix and put it in to context by speaking about our activities in the past, present, and future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The possessive suffix will vary depending on the personal pronoun, for example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

WASI (house)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

<\/div><\/div><\/div>Wasi-nku<\/strong><\/td>
Their house<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Each possessive suffix will vary depending as well on the ending of the work. For example, if the word ends in a VOWEL <\/strong>the suffixes in the table above are added (y, yki, n, nchis, yku, ykichis, nku).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Example: Allqu<\/strong> \u2013 dog<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Allquand<\/strong> \u2013 my dog
Allquyki<\/strong> \u2013 your dog
Allqun<\/strong> \u2013 her\/his dog
Allqunchis <\/strong>\u2013 our dog (inclusive)
Allquyku <\/strong>\u2013 our dog (exclusive)
Allqu-ykichis <\/strong>\u2013 your dog
Allqu-nku <\/strong>\u2013 their dog<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if the word ends in a CONSONANT<\/strong> you add the particle NI <\/strong>before the possessive suffix, let's look at the following table.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00d1AN (path, road)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Personal Pronoun<\/strong><\/th>Possessive suffix<\/strong><\/th>English<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>
\u00d1uqa \/ I<\/td>\u00d1an-ni<\/strong>-y<\/td>My path<\/td><\/tr>
Qan \/ You<\/td>\u00d1an-ni<\/strong>-yki<\/td>Your path<\/td><\/tr>
Pay \/ She\/he<\/td>\u00d1an-ni<\/strong>-n<\/td>Her\/his path<\/td><\/tr>
\u00d1uqanchis \/ We<\/td>\u00d1an-ni<\/strong>-nchis<\/td>Our path (inclusive)<\/td><\/tr>
\u00d1uqayku \/ We<\/td>\u00d1an-ni<\/strong>-yku<\/td>Out path (exclusive)<\/td><\/tr>
Qankuna \/You<\/td>\u00d1an-ni<\/strong>-ykichis<\/td>Your path<\/td><\/tr>
Paykuna \/Them<\/td>\u00d1an-ni<\/strong>-nku<\/td>Their path<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Next, let's look at the use of the possessive suffixes and their conjugation in the past, present, and future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
