Possessive Adjectives

The possessive adjectives (my, your, his, etc) are pronouns suffixed to nouns to denote possession. These pronouns are attached and are different from the attached ones you learned earlier.

PluralDualSingluar
نَانَايْ
كُمكُمَاكَ
كُنَّكُمَاكِ
هُمْهُمَاهُ
هُنَّهُمَاهَا

Lets take the word كتاب and suffix the possessive adjectives to it. The result will be the following table.

PluralDualSingluar
كِتابُنَاكِتابُنَا كِتابِيْ
كِتابُكُمكِتابُكُمَا كِتابُكَ
كِتابُكُنَّكِتابُكُمَا كِتابُكِ
كِتابُهُمْكِتابُهُمَا كِتابُهُ
كِتابُهُنَّكِتابُهُمَا كِتابُهَا

Note that for "my", there is a ــِـ before the ي, whereas for the others there is a ــُـ. This ــُـ is variable and will change into a ــِـ after a preposition for example.
