Inflection [edit]

The genitive case seiner is more and more rarely used in modern German.

  • While the genitive of Personal Pronouns does express ownership, it must not be confused with possessive pronouns. While possessive pronouns such as sein are put in front of the noun they relate to and follow the inflection rules of adjectives, the genitive form of personal pronouns only has one from, which is not further inflected. Additionally, personal pronouns in the genitive can be put after the word they relate to.

Latvian [edit]

Etymology 1 [edit]

From Proto-Baltic *, from Proto-Indo-European * (< *éǵh₂). The non-nominative forms derive from Proto-Indo-European dependent stem *me- (the a instead of e in the Baltic languages appears to result from Iranian influence): reduplicated *me-me- > *mene > Proto-Baltic genitive/accusative *mane > *manen (by analogy with other accusatives) > *manens (by analogy with other genitives) > genitive manis, while *manen > accusative mani. Dative man comes from an older *mani. Instrumental variant manim imitates the nominal i-stem paradigm. Cognates include Lithuanian (archaic ), Old Prussian es, as, Sudovian as, Proto-Slavic *(j)azъ (Old Church Slavonic азъ (azŭ), Old East Slavic язъ (jazŭ), Russian, Belarusian, Ukrainian я (ja), Bulgarian аз (az), Czech (< jaz), Polish ja (< jaz)), Proto-Germanic *ekan, *ek (Gothic 𐌹𐌺 (ik), Old Norse ek, Old High German ih, German ich, Old English ic, English I), Hittite uk, Sanskrit अहम् (ahám), Avestan azǝm, Ancient Greek ἐγώ (egṓ), Latin ego, Ossetian æз (æz).[1]
