Possessive pronouns in Pular

The possessive pronoun follows the noun:

• Ko baaba an nii. That is my father.

It can be replaced by a person’s name:

• Ko baaba Aamadu nii. That is Amadou’s father.

The table to the right shows all the pronouns we’ve seen so far.

The pronouns an, maa, men, and amen are particularly hard to keep straight because they sound like other pronouns.

Two of these pronouns, men and mon, have lengthened forms as well, which are perhaps more insistent: me’en and mo’on, respectively.

• baaba men / baaba me’en } our father

• baaba mon / baaba mo’on } your father
