When ''ňos'' is used with the suffixes ''-alí'' (any) or ''-réjetsí'' (none), it becomes ''pértsona'' (/pertsona/). | |||

# used to form an agentive noun along with the suffix ''ský'' when the agent is a person. | |||
#:''DŽin al '''ňos'''travek-ský'' | |||
#:: ''I am a worker.'' | |||
====Inflection==== | |||
In words using ''ňos'' as a prefix, the plural marker may sometimes follow the ''ňos'' prefix instead of coming at the end of the word. | |||
In general, unless the agentive suffix ''-ský'' is also present, the plural marker follows the ''ňos''. In cases where ''ňos'' is used to indicate nationality, it remains lower-case at all times. | |||
