PRONOUNS / TSWV
In the Hmong language the pronoun forms stay the same no matter where
you put and/or use in a sentence. In other words, pronouns do not
change from you to your, and yours like in English.
However, the placement and/or location of the pronoun tells
readers/listeners the type of pronouns, i.e., whether
the pronoun is a subject pronoun or a possessive pronoun.
Additionally, there are words in the Hmong language that are used
to describe the possession of the objects rather than using a possessive
pronouns to indicate its ownership.
