In this lesson, we will learn about possessive pronouns in Iranian Persian. Possessive pronouns are used to express ownership and relationships between people and things.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently use possessive pronouns in your conversations. So let's get started!

Possessive Pronouns in Iranian Persian

In Iranian Persian, possessive pronouns are formed by combining a base pronoun with a possessive suffix. The base pronoun indicates the person or thing that owns the object, and the possessive suffix indicates the relationship between the owner and the object. Here are the base pronouns and their corresponding possessive suffixes:

Base Pronoun	Possessive Suffix
من (man)	-am
تو (to)	-at
او (u)	-ash
ما (ma)	-im
شما (shoma)	-etun
آن‌ها (anha)	-eshan
