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. | It's mine. |
Una piit. | It's yours. |
Una pinga. | It's his/hers. |
Una pingat. | It's theirs. |
Dual forms (These are slightly irregular)
Taakkua piikka. | Those two things are mine. |
Taakkua piikkik. | Those two things are yours. |
Taakkua pingik. | Those two things are his/hers/theirs |
Plural forms:
Taakkua pikka. | Those are mine. |
Taakkua pitit. | Those are yours. |
Taakkua pingit. | Those are his/hers/theirs. |
