Pitjantjatjara

Pronoun

-ya (third person plural nominative, bound form of tjana)

1. they

Usage notes

Bound pronouns can be used instead of the regular "long form" pronouns. They act as clitics that attach to the last word of the first noun phrase in the sentence, or the conjunctions ka or munu if present.
