EXAMPLES:-

“daunde laik gon om” = “these[multiple objects] are for her/him” “daunde laik oma gapa” = “that is my horses[multiple objects]” “daunde laik oyun” = “those[multiple objects] are yours” “dison laik ain” = “this is mine[singular object]” “dison laik omon” = “these[multiple objects] are his/hers/its/theirs[multiple people]” “dison laik oson” = “this/these is/are ours[exclusive/us-here]” OR “this/these is/are ours[inclusive/us-all]” “dison laik yun” = “this[singular object] is yours” “dison steiks laik oyon” = “these meats[multiple objects] are yours[all]” “em ste emon” = “it[singular object] is hers/his/theirs[could be both singular and multiple people]” “hir laik yon” = “here[singular object] is yours[all]” “omo java” = “their[all] spears[multiple objects]” “omon gon oson” = “all of me for all of us” “oyo java” = “your[all] spears[multiple objects]” “oyu wichen bandrona” = “your loyal ambassadors[multiple objects]”

For singular objects, the three pronouns ai, emo and yu work as possessive adjectives {example: “ai java” = “my spear[singular object]” “emo hou” = “their home[singular object]” “yu fecha” = “your dog[singular object]”} The pronouns oso (our/us[inclusive]) and osir (our/us[exclusive]) can be used for both multiple objects and a singular object {example: “oso stegeda” = “our[all] village/s” “osir stegeda” = “our[excluding the listener/us-here] village/s”}

CHEATSHEET –

A general rule of thumb (with a few exceptions) is as follows;

An ‘o’ before a pronoun {possessives and possessive adjectives} can mean multiple objects (see om, oma, omo, oyo, oyon, oyu and oyun). An ‘o’ after the consonant deriving from the pronoun can mean multiple people (see omo, oson, oyo, oyon, and yon). Please remember that there are some exceptions, consider oson and omon as only two examples. They can be used to mean both, depending on the context, and thus don’t adhere to the aforementioned rules.

A good trick for remembering which ‘us’ and ‘our’ to use is to remember where the words (osir and oso) come from. Osir derives from ‘us-here’, and is therefore the exclusive and doesn’t include the listener. Oso comes from ‘us-all’, and is therefore the inclusive and includes the listener.

It is important to note that Trigedasleng relies quite heavily on context, so, for many words, the context provides a large portion of the translation.
