In this lesson we will look at the possessive markers, once more, and we will introduce the family system. In the same way that parts of the body can be possessed, the personal names of family members can be possessed using the possessive markers. For example:
nan – tli “mother”
Tlamanextilli ica cequin motocaxtilli tlen quipoz iteco (Examples with some possessive pronouns)
/conetl/
/chocho/
nochocho “my younger sibling”
mochocho “your younger sibling”
ichocho “his/her younger sibling”
tochochohuan “our younger siblings”
inmochochohuan “your (plural) younger siblings”
ininchochohuan “their younger siblings”
/tlayi/
notlayi “my uncle”
motlayi “your uncle”
itlayi “his/her uncle”
totlayihuan “our uncles”
inmotlayihuan “your (plural) uncles”
inintlayihuan “their uncles”
/icni/
noicniuh “my sibling”
moicniuh “your sibling”
iicniuh “his/her sibling”
toicnihuan “our siblings”
inmoicnihuan “you all’s siblings”
ininicnihuan “their siblings”
/machicni/
nomachicniuh “my cousin”
momachicniuh “your cousin”
imachicniuh “his/her cousin”
tomachicnihuan “our cousins”
inmomachicnihuan “your (plural) cousins”
ininmachicnihuan “their cousins”
We will learn the vocabulary for family members.
noicniuh “my sibling”
nochocho “my younger sibling”
