Possesive Endings

I am continuing to use Memrise as part of my learning process. I have just hit rough spot: Possessive Endings.


-m / -d / -ja, = my / your / his, her (possessive suffixes when nouns end in vowels)


-m / -d / -je = my / your / his, her (possessive suffixes when nouns end in front vowels)

-om / -od / -a = my / your / his, her (possessive suffixes for back vowel nouns ending in consonants)

-em / -ed / -e = my / your / his, her (possessive suffixes for nouns ending in e, é, i, í, á + consonants)

öm / -öd / -e = my / your / his, her (possessive suffixes for long front vowel nouns ending in consonants)

I helps to have some idea of what front and back vowels are (17 total):

a, á, i, í, o, ó, u, ú = 8 back vowels


e, é, ó, ő, ú, ű = 6 front vowels


e, o, u = 3 short front vowels
