Possessive pronouns

Possessive pronouns in Ojibwe are prefixes that are added to nouns, both animate and inanimate.

• ni - my
• gi - your singular
• o--[[a]n] - his or her
• gi--nan - our inclusive
• ni--nan - our exclusive
• gi--waa - your plural
• o--waa-[[a]n] - their

Notice that for his/her, our (exclusive and inclusive), your plural and their, there is also a suffix added to the noun in addition to the prefix.
