Possessive adjectives I

You may spot o in another guise. Used before the noun it also means my. Unfortunately you have to remember some more mutations! So, you may prefer to use the personal pronoun after the noun, e.g.

kei                                         a dog

o hei                                     my dog

an[1] kei vy[2]                       my dog

o hota                                    my coat

[1] some people may omit the definite article <an> if it is obvious that there is only one dog in question

[2] This <vy> does  not rhyme with English “pie”. In old texts it was often written <vee>, so this is the pronunciation.
