====Relative pronouns==== | ====Relative pronouns==== | ||
Luthic uses distinct relative pronouns depending on the type of antecedent. For people or things, the quasi-indeclinable pronoun í is used, with the genitive form ei serving as “whose.” For places, the relative pronoun var is employed, while van is used to refer to time. These pronouns consistently introduce relative clauses and do not change according to number or case. | |||
* S’ondu, í ar stava è fiú carinu. → The dog that was here is very cute. | |||
* Adelaida è sa ragazza, meþ í aþþa Francia vratoraggio. → Adelaida is the girl with whom I will travel to France. | |||
* Este è so manno, ei sunu ieri qemé. → This is the man whose son arrived yesterday. | |||
* È ‘na segguatrice, ei þ'arvèþe ammiro. → She is a singer whose work I admire. | |||
* So staþe var buo è ferra sa mina ufficia. → The place where I live is far from my office. | |||
* Andavo sa mina ieþi van so minu faþar arrivò. → I was walking with my mother when my father arrived. | |||
When using the relative pronoun í and its genitive variation for people or things, the relative clause is set off by a comma. | |||

Interrogative pronouns in Luthic are used to form questions about persons, objects, or qualities. | |||
