====T-V distinction====

Etzeá employs a very specific T-V distinction, where the T(''o'' and ''ôe'') is only used among friends one knows very well, and in almost all other cases the V(''tsus'' and ''pella'') are used, including to one's own family. This has led to some linguists classifying the Etzeá T as a [[w:Profanity|profanity]], though this is a dubious claim, as there are no known harsh social consequences and the use of the T is not discouraged in the right contexts.<ref>Additionally, most of the linguists that support this claim are of [[Moshurian]] origin, which has no T-V distinction, hence the possible confusion.</ref>

====Possession====

Etzeá possessive pronouns are identical to the accusative forms of the personal pronouns, and they are placed before the noun in the same manner as adjectives. For example:

: ''Én kuzao''

: "My bottle"
