The Possessive Endings - Part II
As told in the las post, in Varga language, possession is given and shown by attaching suffixes to the noun.
Suffix usage depends on vowel harmony, the amount of objets possessed,
the person of the owner (I, you, their etc.) and if the noun ends with
vowel or consonant.
Examples:
Use of the suffixes above is allowed for nouns in singular forms only.
(*) Sometimes, the final vowel of the noun and the first of the suffix are the same. In this case, don't put them together; instead, make them combine as follows: i + i = í.
