Possessive Pronouns
Possessive pronouns are used to indicate ownership or possession. They can also be used to indicate a relationship between two people. Here are some examples of possessive pronouns in Mesopotamian Arabic:
- My: ูู (li)
- Your (singular): ูู (lak)
- His: ูู (lah)
- Her: ููุง (laha)
- Our: ููุง (lana)
- Your (plural): ููู (lakum)

Demonstrative Pronouns
Demonstrative pronouns are used to point out or identify a person or thing. They can be either singular or plural, and they can be either masculine or feminine. Here are some examples of demonstrative pronouns in Mesopotamian Arabic:

Forming Pronouns
When forming pronouns in Mesopotamian Arabic, it is important to remember that the gender and number of the pronoun must match the gender and number of the noun it is referring to. For example, if you are referring to a singular masculine noun, you must use a singular masculine pronoun.
It is also important to note that the possessive pronouns change depending on the gender and number of the noun they are referring to. For example, if you are referring to a singular masculine noun, you must use the possessive pronoun "ูู" (lah).
Finally, it is important to remember that the demonstrative pronouns also change depending on the gender and number of the noun they are referring to. For example, if you are referring to a singular masculine noun, you must use the demonstrative pronoun "ูุฐุง" (haDha).
