Nouns with pronoun suffixes
To a noun can be added a suffix meaning โwhoseโ this noun is (as in the English phrase โmy horseโ). The suffixes are below:
| person | gender | singular | plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | masculine | ื (my ~) | ื ื (our ~) |
| feminine | |||
| 2nd | masculine | ื (your ~) | ืื (your ~) |
| feminine | ืื (your ~) | ||
| 3rd | masculine | ื/ืื (his ~) | ื (their ~) |
| feminine | ื (her ~) | ื (their ~) |
Note: ืื is used in Tanakh:Genesis_11:3 Gen. 11:3 for a masculine noun.
In feminine nouns ending with ื that ื is replaced with ืช before pronoun suffixes.
Now read about pronoun suffixes with plural nouns:
For the plural nouns ending with ืื that ืื is replaced with the following suffixes:
| person | gender | singular | plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | masculine | ื (my ~) | ืื ื (our ~) |
| feminine | |||
| 2nd | masculine | ืื (your ~) | ืืื (your ~) |
| feminine | ืืื (your ~) | ||
| 3rd | masculine | ืื (his ~) | ืืื (their ~) |
| feminine | ืื (her ~) | ืืื (their ~) |
For the plural nouns ending with ืืช, after that ืืช are added the following suffixes (the same suffixes as in the previous table):
| person | gender | singular | plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | masculine | ื (my ~) | ืื ื (our ~) |
| feminine | |||
| 2nd | masculine | ืื (your ~) | ืืื (your ~) |
| feminine | ืืื (your ~) | ||
| 3rd | masculine | ืื (his ~) | ืืื (their ~) |
| feminine | ืื (her ~) | ืืื (their ~) |
A noun with a pronoun suffix is considered definite (but an article should be not put before it).
Verbs with object pronoun suffixes
These suffixes denote an object of an action:
| person | gender | singular | plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | masculine | ื ื | ื ื |
| feminine | |||
| 2nd | masculine | ื | ืื |
| feminine | ืื | ||
| 3rd | masculine | ืื | ื |
| feminine | ื | ื |
In 3rd person, singular, feminine of perfect the suffix ื is replaced with ืช before pronoun suffixes.
In 2nd person, plural, masculine of perfect the suffix ืชื is replaced with ืชื before pronoun suffixes.
In 3-weak verbs the last ื of the root is omitted before pronoun suffixes.
Infinitive can have both object pronoun suffixes and subject pronoun suffixes.
Note the suffix ืื appearing after a noun (not verb) in Gen. 1:12.
