Possession in language

From UniLang Wiki

In Persian there are two ways to express possession:

1. noun + ending (y)e + personal pronoun (ye when the word ends in a vowel)

2. noun + personal endings (they are: -am,-at, -aš, -emân, -etân, -ešân)

Example: [doxtar - daughter]

doxtare man/to/u/mâ/šomâ/ânhâ

doxtaram/at/aš/emân/etân/ešân

No.2 is the normal way of expressing possession and No.1 is only used when emphasizing, etc.
