Suffix Pronominal
|
|
=================
|
|
|
|
Summary
|
|
-------
|
|
|
|
Pronominal suffixes refer to a person(s) or thing(s) and can be attached to nouns, verbs, prepositions, participles,
|
|
infinitives, even some particles. A pronominal suffix nearly always functions as either a personal pronoun (for example,
|
|
"I" or "me" in English) or a possessive pronoun (for example, "my" or "mine" in English).

A pronominal :ref:`suffix<suffix>` refers to a person(s) or a thing(s) and can change form according to gender
|
|
(:ref:`masculine<gender_masculine>` or
|
|
:ref:`feminine<gender_feminine>`), number (:ref:`singular<number_singular>` or :ref:`plural<number_plural>`), and person
|
|
(:ref:`first<person_first>`, :ref:`second<person_second>`, or :ref:`third<person_third>` person).
|
|
These various suffixes look quite similar to their corresponding :ref:`personal pronouns<pronoun_personal>`.
|
|
Only nouns in the :ref:`construct state<state_construct>` can take a pronominal suffix.
|
|
|
|
.. note:: In Biblical Aramaic, a noun always becomes :ref:`definite<definiteness>` when a pronominal suffix is attached to it.

Function

-----------
|
|
|
|
.. _suffix_pronominal-nouns:
|
|
|
|
Attached to a :ref:`noun<noun>`
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
When attached to a noun, a pronominal suffix functions as a personal pronoun in a :ref:`construct relationship<state_construct-construct-chain>`
|
|
with the noun to which it is attached. Very often, the pronoun functions as a possessive
|
|
:ref:`attributive adjective<adjective-attributive>` indentifying the person(s) or thing(s) in possession of that noun.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _suffix_pronominal-verbs:
|
|
|
|
Attached to a :ref:`finite verb<verb-finite>`
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
A pronominal suffix can be attached to any finite verb conjugation to indicate the direct object of the verb. In these cases,
|
|
the pronominal suffix always functions as a :ref:`personal pronoun<pronoun_personal>`.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. _suffix_pronominal-prepositions:
|
|
|
|
Attached to a :ref:`preposition<preposition>`
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Similar to verbs, a pronominal suffix attached to a preposition is always the object of that preposition, functioning as a
|
|
:ref:`personal pronoun<pronoun_personal>`.
|
|
|
|
Attached to a participle
