Understanding Azerbaijani Possessive Pronouns
Possessive pronouns in Azerbaijani are words that show ownership or belonging. They help us know who owns something or who it belongs to. Just like in English where we say 'my', 'your', 'his', 'her', 'our', and 'their', Azerbaijani has its own set of possessive pronouns.
Important Points
- My - mənim
- Your (singular) - sənin
- His/Her/Its - onun
- Our - bizim
- Your (plural) - sizin
- Their - onların
When we use possessive pronouns in Azerbaijani, we often add them before a noun to show who owns the noun. For example, if you want to say 'my book', you would say 'mənim kitabım' in Azerbaijani.
Examples
- Mənim kitabım var.
- Sənin qələmin itdi.
- Onun evi böyükdür.
It's important to remember that possessive pronouns in Azerbaijani agree with the noun they describe. This means that the pronoun and the noun work together to show ownership.
Examples
- Bizim maşınımız yeni alınıb.
- Sizin məktəbiniz haradadır?
- Onların otağı təmizdir.
Just like in English, using the right possessive pronoun helps make sentences clear and understandable. Practice using these pronouns with different nouns to get comfortable with them.
