Nouns with pronoun suffixes
To a noun can be added a suffix meaning “whose” this noun is (as in the English phrase “my horse”). The suffixes are below:
| person | gender | singular | plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | masculine | י (my ~) | נו (our ~) |
| feminine | |||
| 2nd | masculine | ך (your ~) | כם (your ~) |
| feminine | כן (your ~) | ||
| 3rd | masculine | ו/הו (his ~) | ם (their ~) |
| feminine | ה (her ~) | ן (their ~) |
Note: הו is used in Gen. 11:3 for a masculine noun.
Note: הן suffix in Gen. 4:4. So the suffix may be preceded by ה.
In feminine nouns ending with ה that ה is replaced with ת before pronoun suffixes.
Now read about pronoun suffixes with plural nouns:
For the plural nouns ending with ים that ים is replaced with the following suffixes:
| person | gender | singular | plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | masculine | י (my ~) | ינו (our ~) |
| feminine | |||
| 2nd | masculine | יך (your ~) | יכם (your ~) |
| feminine | יכן (your ~) | ||
| 3rd | masculine | יו (his ~) | יהם (their ~) |
| feminine | יה (her ~) | יהן (their ~) |
For the plural nouns ending with ות, after that ות are added the following suffixes (the same suffixes as in the previous table):
| person | gender | singular | plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | masculine | י (my ~) | ינו (our ~) |
| feminine | |||
| 2nd | masculine | יך (your ~) | יכם (your ~) |
| feminine | יכן (your ~) | ||
| 3rd | masculine | יו (his ~) | יהם (their ~) |
| feminine | יה (her ~) | יהן (their ~) |
A noun with a pronoun suffix is considered definite (but an article should be not put before it).
Verbs with object pronoun suffixes

| person | gender | singular | plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | masculine | ני | נו |
| feminine | |||
| 2nd | masculine | ך | כם |
| feminine | כן | ||
| 3rd | masculine | הו | ם |
| feminine | ה | ן |
In 3rd person, singular, feminine of perfect the suffix ה is replaced with ת before pronoun suffixes.

In 3-weak verbs the last ה of the root is omitted before pronoun suffixes.
