Personal clitics with noun phrases edit

Grammar: (bound) personal enclitics after (singular or plural) noun phrase:

  • After consonant: /am/, /at/, /aš/, /emân/, /etân/, /ešân/
  • After و or ا, /yam/, /yat/...
  • After ه or ی, singular suffixes are spelled with leading zwnj+ا.

Often expresses possession /pedaram/ ("my father"), /dust-e xubam/ ("my good friend")

alternative pronomial direct objects as enclitics

Colloquial edit

Differences between spoken and written forms

  • written را colloquially ‹o› or ‹ro›. With possessive endings:
    • کتابم را به او دادم ‹ketâbamow be u dâdam› (“I gave my book to him.”)
    • کتابت را به او دادم ‹ketâbatow be u dâdam› (“I gave your book to him.”)
    • کتابش را به او دادم ‹ketâbašow be u dâdam› (“I gave her book to him.”)
    • کتابمان را به او دادم ‹ketâbemunow be u dâdam› (“I gave our book to him.”)
    • کتابتان را به او دادم ‹ketâbetunow be u dâdam› (“I gave your book to him.”)
    • کتابشان را به او دادم ‹ketâbašunow be u dâdam› (“I gave their book to him.”)
  • colloquial ‹e›, ‹s› for است
  • colloquial verb endings: ه ‹eh›
  • written ان ‹ân› vs spoken ‹un›, but not in خانم ‹xânom›

Colloquially, when ‹â› comes before ‹a›, the latter elides:

  • دست‌هایم ‹dasthâyam› (“my hands”) pronounced ‹dastâm›
  • پایم ‹pâyam› (“my foot”) pronounced ‹pâm›
