Lesson 17: Possessives
This lesson introduces the possessive system: how to say "my," "your," "his," and so on.
A possessive (sometimes called a "possessive pronoun") is a word that shows who something belongs to or is connected to. English uses words like "my," "your," "his," "our." Tongan has two complete sets of possessive pronouns, each used in different situations.
