Possessive Pronouns in Moroccan Arabic

In Darija, a suffix (ending) may be added to the end of words in order to express possession.

Possessive Pronouns

* For the “my” and “his” forms, the first ending is used for words ending in consonants, while the second is used with words ending in vowels. For example, smiti (my name), but xuya (my brother).

Example of possessive pronouns with the noun “book.”
