MINE, YOURS, THEIRS
To express these concepts in Inuktut, we take the possessive endings that we learned in the previous lesson and add the prefix pi-:
Una piga. | This is mine. |
Una pet. | This is yours. |
Una pinga. | This is his/hers. |
Una pingat. | This is theirs. |
Dual forms (These are slightly irregular)
Tâkkua pekka. | Those two things are mine. |
Tâkkua pekkik. | Those two things are yours. |
Tâkkua pingik. | Those two things are his/hers/theirs |
Plural forms:
Tâkkua pikka. | Those are mine. |
Tâkkua pitit. | Those are yours. |
Tâkkua pingit.* | Those are his/hers/theirs. |
