Possessive Pronouns

Singular Plural

1

st

pers. mi my 1st pers. Wa our

2

nd

pers. r/ your 2nd pers. Yn your

3

rd

pers. r/ hers, his, its 3 rd pers. Wn their

w mi my book

ile wn their house

oju wa our eyes

yw r his wife

wa yn your (sg./pl.) behavior

mm r your (sg.) mother

Wn and yn can also be used as pronouns of respect. Status, apart from old age, demandsrespect in Yorb society. These pronouns are, therefore, used for people like doctors, judges,professors, ones boss, ones father, mother, uncle, or aunt, etc. For example, when you want to asksomeone a professors name, i.e. What is his/her name? You say k ni ork wn? If theProfessors name is ld), you respond: Ork wn ni jgbn ld (His/her name is Professor

ld).

Recall the emphatic pronouns below that you learned in Chapter 1 lesson 3, and compare them tothe possessive pronouns above:

1

st

pers. mi I 1st

pers. wa we2

nd

pers. w you 2nd pers. yin you

3

rd

pers. un she, he, it 3 rd pers. wn they

To form the possessive pronouns, the vowels at the beginning of the subject pronouns drop in the 1stperson singular mi, 1stperson plural wa, and in the 3rdperson plural wn.

Lesson 2 - k Kej

The Plural marker wn

wn is a plural marker that is placed before the noun. For example:

1. Mo ri wn obnrin n ln I saw the women yesterday2. wn il n j. The houses are burning3. wn knrin ma d fl Men do wear hats

Compare:

1b. Mo ri obnrin n ln I saw the woman yesterday2b. Il n j. The house is burning.

However, the use of wn is sometimes redundant and therefore does not necessarily

have to be used. For example:

4. Obnrin k d fl Women do not wear hats5. md k sn Children dont sleep

In 4 and 5, the subjects do not have to be preceded by wn to indicate plurality.

We should, however note that wn can be singular when used honorifically--as a mark ofrespect as for example 'wn bb mi n k n k i yn my father asked me to say 'hi' toyou.

More examples:

wn il Houses

wn b Parents

wn md Children

wn ile wn their houses

Ile wn their house

wn ar mi my people

Il b mi my parents house

Il wn b mi my parents house

wn il wn b mi the houses of my parents

Mo frn wn md I love children

Prepositions

Preposition of location is one of the grammatical classes in Yorb. 'N' combines with thefollowing to form prepositions.

For example:

N + abN + iwjN + ynN + rnN + inN + gbN + or

!!!!!!!

lbnwjlynlrnnnlgblr

underin front ofbehindin between / in the middle ofinsidebesideon top of

These prepositions do not require n:

snmjnn s

nearfar from

W t o b e precedes the preposition to express location. For example:

w w lri tbl ! The book is on the table.

Other examples are found below:

ga w nwju tbl. p w lyn ga.

The interrogative Nbo

A t k a e b r N b o

Nbois an interrogative form that means where?.Nbo ni..? Where is.?

The verb w ( to be / to exist) is used in combination withnbo ni to ask a questionconcerning the location of something or someone.

For example:

br: Nbo ni w w? Where is the book?

dhn: w w lri tbl. (The) book is on the table.

br: Nbo ni kpt w? Where is the computer?

dhn: Kbd w nwjukpt.

The keyboard is in front of the computer.
