Suffix Pronouns

Personal suffix pronouns must follow, and be suffixed to, the preceding word. They could not stand by themselves as separate words. General use of suffix pronoun can be: - as genitive after nouns (with the sense of our possessive adjectives - "his wife", "their brother") - after prepositions ("to you", "with them") - as nominative with the simple tenses of the verb ("I say", "they lived")
