Introduction

In this lesson, you will learn how to express possession in Sindhi. Possession refers to the relationship between two nouns, where one noun has or owns something that belongs to the other noun. Possession can be expressed using both possessive pronouns and possessive adjectives in Sindhi. Possessive pronouns replace the noun while possessive adjectives describe the noun.

Possessive Pronouns

Sindhi possessive pronouns are used to indicate who owns or possesses something. Possessive pronouns are used in place of a noun and agree in gender and number with the noun they replace. The following table shows the singular and plural forms of possessive pronouns in Sindhi:

Sindhi	Pronunciation	English
مُنهِن	Munhin	Mine (singular m/f)
تُنهِن	Tunhin	Yours (singular m/f)
اُنهِن	Unhin	His/Hers (singular)
جُنهِن	Junhin	Theirs (plural m/f)

Examples:

• مُنهِن سڀ کٺڻو آريو ٿيندُ !! (Mine all books are lost!!)
• تُنهِن جيڪي جُوتين ماڻهو ياد نا ڪريو !! (You forgot your shoes!!)
• جُنهِن جي سير چاندرُين هٺي مان ٺهري ڏنو ويندا !! (Their car has been standing in the garage for three days now!!)

Possessive Adjectives

Sindhi possessive adjectives are used to describe the noun being possessed. Possessive adjectives come before the noun and agree in gender and number with the noun they describe. The following table shows the singular and plural forms of possessive adjectives in Sindhi:

Sindhi	Pronunciation	English
مُنهُنجو	Munhunjo	My (singular m/f)
تُنهُنجو	Tuhunjo	Your (singular m/f)
اُنهُنجو	Unhunjo	His/Her (singular)
جُنهُنجو	Junhunjo	Their (plural m/f)

Examples:

• مُنهُنجو پنھاٽي مُنھنجي جيب ۾ آهي!! (My pen is in my pocket!!)
• تُنهُنجي چھلڙي توهان جي هٽاڻان جو وارستو آهي !! (Your key is on your table!!)
• اُنهُنجو پوٺو ٺئيا پنهنجي سَمَر ۾ ۾پاريو ٿيو !! (His shirt was left in my room!!)
