Nouns with pronoun suffixes
|-
| feminine
|-
|rowspan=2| 2nd || masculine ||rowspan=2| ך (your ~) || כם (your ~)
|-
| feminine || כן (your ~)
|-
|rowspan=2| 3rd || masculine || ו/הו (his ~) || ם (their ~)
|-
| feminine || ה (her ~) || ן (their ~)
|}
 
Note: הו is used in [[Tanakh:Genesis_11:3|Gen. 11:3]] for a masculine noun.
 
Note: הן suffix in [[Tanakh:Genesis_4:4|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:
 
{| class="grammar"
!person !! gender !! singular !! plural
|-
|rowspan=2| 1st || masculine ||rowspan=2| י (my ~) ||rowspan=2| ינו (our ~)
|-
| feminine
|-
|rowspan=2| 2nd || masculine ||rowspan=2| יך (your ~) || יכם (your ~)
|-
| feminine || יכן (your ~)
|-
|rowspan=2| 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):
 
{| class="grammar"
!person !! gender !! singular !! plural
|-
|rowspan=2| 1st || masculine ||rowspan=2| י (my ~) ||rowspan=2| ינו (our ~)
|-
| feminine
|-
|rowspan=2| 2nd || masculine ||rowspan=2| יך (your ~) || יכם (your ~)
|-
| feminine || יכן (your ~)
|-
|rowspan=2| 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==
 
These suffixes denote an object of an action:
 
{| class="grammar"
!person !! gender !! singular !! plural
|-
|rowspan=2| 1st || masculine ||rowspan=2| ני ||rowspan=2| נו
|-
| feminine
|-
|rowspan=2| 2nd || masculine ||rowspan=2| ך || כם
|-
| feminine || כן
|-
|rowspan=2| 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 2nd person, plural, masculine of perfect the suffix תם is replaced with תו before pronoun suffixes.
 
In 3-weak verbs the last ה of the root is omitted before pronoun suffixes.
 
Infinitive can have both object pronoun suffixes and subject pronoun suffixes.
 
Note the suffix הו appearing after a noun (not verb) in [[Tanakh:Genesis 1:12|Gen. 1:12]].
