028 POSSESIVE PRONOUNS.

63. There being no distinct pronouns of this class in the Malayalim Language, they are supplied; thus,
1st. The genitive cases of all the preceeding pronouns that may be required, are used with nouns, or the last letter of the neuter pronoun: as,
എന്റെ വീട, My house.
ഞങ്ങളുടെ തൊട്ടം, Our garden.
നമ്മുടെ കാൎയ്യം, My, or our affair.
നിങ്ങളുടെത, Your’s.
എന്റെത, Mine.
അവന്റെത, His.
Sometimes they stand alone as the possessive case; thus,
ആ പുസ്തകം അവന്റെ ആകുന്നു, That book is his.
But this form is not good Malayalim, in such cases the following rule is preferable.
2nd. The possessive is supplied by placing the participle ഉള്ള between the person possessing in the dative, and the thing possessed in any case; as,
ഇനിക്കുള്ള കുതിര, My horse.
തനിക്കുള്ള വസ്തുവിന്റെ, Of your property.
പള്ളിക്കുള്ള ദ്രവ്യത്തിന്ന, To the church money.
ഇനിക്കുള്ളതാകുന്നു, It is mine.
