Possessive/Objective Endings
   

These are the endings for pronouns used in possessive as well as objective cases.

my am [tag resources possobjendings_01] ــَــ ــم[/tag]
your at [tag resources possobjendings_03]ــَــ ــت[/tag]
his,her aš [tag resources possobjendings_05]ــَــ ــش[/tag]
our amān [tag resources possobjendings_07]ــَــ ــمان[/tag]
your atān (plural) [tag resources possobjendings_09]ــَــ ــتان[/tag]
their ašān [tag resources possobjendings_11]ــَــ ــشان[/tag]

With verbs, these endings are used in objective case, as in:

[tag resources possobjendings_13]زدش[/tag]
zadaš
‘he/she/it hit him/her/it’

With nouns, they are used to construct possessive case, as in:

[tag resources possobjendings_14]کتابش[/tag]
ketābaš
‘his, her book’

After /ā/ and /u/ an euphonic [-y-] intervenes, as in:

[tag resources possobjendings_15]پایش[/tag]
pā-y-aš
‘his/her/its foot, leg’

[tag resources possobjendings_16]مویت[/tag]
mu-y-at
‘your hair’

After the final ـه (that is, /-e/), with the singulars, an euphonic alef intervenes (with the plurals, it is optional), as in:

[tag resources possobjendings_17]خانه اش[/tag]
xāne-aš
‘his/her/its house, home’

[tag resources possobjendings_18]بچّه اش [/tag]
bacce-aš
‘his/her/its child, offspring’

[tag resources possobjendings_19]کوچه شان [/tag](or کوچه اشان)
kuce-šān (kuce-ašān)
‘their lane, alley’

Since these two sets of suffixes are similar, make sure that you do not get confused, especially in the case of the first person singular, in which case the suffix is similar to the first person singular verbal suffix. For instance, compare and contrast the following two sentences:

پدرم من را دید = ‘my father saw me’ objective suffix پدرم دیدم

‘I saw my father’ verbal suffix پدرم را دیدم
