Possessive pronouns in Georgian

The third person possessive pronouns

The third person possessive pronouns repeat the same kind space exposition as with the personal pronouns. Compare:

single	მისი	ამისი	იმისი
plural	მათი	ამათი	იმათი

Actually the prefix “ა-” shows the distance near the first person, while the prefix “ი-” exposes the opposite – far from the first and second person. (Since the second person is a member of a conversation, it is always near the first person.)

Possessive pronouns

my	ჩემი
your	შენი
his/her/its	მისი ამისი იმისი
our	ჩვენი
your	თქვენი
their	მათი ამათი იმათი
