Possessive Pronouns Part 2

Now that the 1st form of Possessive pronouns is done, we can move on to the 2nd. These forms are fairly easy to remember since all of them begin with "ku" or "kua."

Mine - Kukua'
Yours - Kukuam
His, Hers, Its - Kuana
Ours (inclusive) - Kuatam
Ours (exclusive) - Kuami
Yours - Kuanu
Theirs - Kuada

Let's see some examples:

Kukua' ya gaggayam - That is my toy.
Kukuam yaw lapis - This is your pencil.
Kuana yari - That was hers.
Kuatam yaw balay - This is our house (we own this house).
Kuami ya take - That is our car (we own that car).
Kuanu yaw - This is yours
Kuada ya parte na danum - That's their part of the water.

Pretty easy isn't it? (I Hope)
