Possessive pronouns decline the same way, except that there are no vocative possessive pronouns (in any person) | ==== Possessive pronouns ==== | ||
Possessive pronouns indicate inalienable possession and can occur either on their own, or in conjunction with a possessed noun, which must be definite. By default, they are placed after the noun they possess, but they can become detached from it for semantic reasons ([[#Constituent order|→Syntax § Constituent order]]). In this case, the definite clitic in the possessed noun is replaced with the construct clitic ([[#Definite and construct clitics|→Definite and construct clitics]]). | |||
