Pronominalized determiners are formed by adding possessive suffixes to the indefinite determiners in the last lesson. With this suffix, we can use indefinite determiners stand-alone — without having to put a noun behind them — even though they still refer to things that are not specified. We use the possessive suffix to create pronominalized determiners, but there is not necessarily a possessive relationship when we use the third person singular suffix.
We cannot use first or second person singular suffixes to construct pronominalized determiners.
Pronominalized Determiners | English Singular | Turkish Singular | English Plural | Turkish Plural |
---|---|---|---|---|
First person | - | - | some of us | bazı(lar)ımız |
Second person | - | - | some of you | bazı(lar)ınIz |
Third person | some | bazısı | some of them | bazıları |
Of these determiners, birkaç, çok, hiçbir, kaç and ne kadar cannot be used with third person plural.
