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.

Taakkua piikkik. Those two things are yours.
Taakkua pingik. Those two things are his/hers/theirs

 

Plural forms:
