Possessive Pronouns in Javanese[edit | edit source]

Possessive pronouns in Javanese are used to indicate ownership or possession of people or things. They function as substitutes for nouns and show the relationship between the possessor and the possessed object. Javanese possessive pronouns come in several forms, depending on the grammatical context and the possessed object's number and gender. Let's explore each form in detail below:

Singular Possessive Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Javanese has different forms of singular possessive pronouns, depending on the gender of the possessed object. The forms are as follows:

Javanese	Pronunciation	English
kang	[kaŋ]	my (masculine)
yen	[jɛn]	my (feminine)
kowe	[kowɛ]	your (masculine)
lakumu	[lakumu]	your (feminine)
sing	[siŋ]	his/her/its

Let's see some examples to understand how to use singular possessive pronouns in sentences:

Aku arep mangan nasi kang iki. (I am going to eat this rice of mine.)
Dheweke mangkat ning kelas yen iki. (He/she is going to the classroom of hers.)
Kamu arep nulis buku kowe. (You are going to write your book.)
Kita arep mlaku ngarep pasar sing. (We are going to walk towards his/her market.)

Plural Possessive Pronouns[edit | edit source]

Javanese also has different forms of plural possessive pronouns, depending on the gender of the possessed object. The forms are as follows:

Javanese	Pronunciation	English
kita	[kita]	our (masculine)
kowe	[kowɛ]	your (masculine)
piye	[pijɛ]	their (masculine)
sing	[siŋ]	his/her/its

Let's see some examples to understand how to use plural possessive pronouns in sentences:

Kita arep mangan nasi kita. (We are going to eat our rice.)
Kowe arep mlaku ngarep pasar kowe. (You are going to walk towards your market.)
Piye arep ngombe kopi sing. (They are going to drink his/her coffee.)

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

In Javanese culture, possession is often expressed in a more indirect and humble manner compared to English. Javanese people may use the singular possessive pronoun "sing" to show ownership or possession, even when referring to themselves. This reflects the cultural value of humility and modesty. For example, instead of saying "my house," a Javanese person might say "the house of mine" using the possessive pronoun "sing."

Historically, Javanese society was heavily influenced by Hindu-Buddhist and Islamic traditions, which shaped the language and cultural practices. The concept of possession and ownership has been intertwined with religious and social values, emphasizing the importance of humility and community harmony.

Practice Exercises[edit | edit source]

Now, let's practice using possessive pronouns in Javanese sentences. Choose the correct possessive pronoun to complete each sentence and indicate ownership or possession.

1. Aku arep mangan nasi ___ iki. (my) 2. Dheweke mangkat ning kelas ___ iki. (hers) 3. Kamu arep nulis buku ___ . (your) 4. Kita arep mlaku ngarep pasar ___ . (his/her)

+=== Singular Possessive Pronouns ===
-== Possessive Pronouns ==
-In Javanese, possessive pronouns are formed by adding a possessive suffix to the personal pronouns. The possessive suffixes indicate the possession or ownership of the noun they are attached to. Here are the Javanese possessive suffixes:
+Javanese has different forms of singular possessive pronouns, depending on the gender of the possessed object. The forms are as follows:
 {| class="wikitable"
-! Possessive Suffix !! Example !! English Translation
+! Javanese !! Pronunciation !! English
 |-
-| ku || mobilku || my car
+| kang || [kaŋ] || my (masculine)
 |-
-| mu || mobilmu || your car
+| yen || [jɛn] || my (feminine)
 |-
-| ne || mobilne || his/her car
+| kowe || [kowɛ] || your (masculine)
 |-
-| kita || mobilkita || our car
+| lakumu || [lakumu] || your (feminine)
 |-
-| kalian || mobilkalian || your (plural) car
+| sing || [siŋ] || his/her/its
-|-
-| nira || mobilnira || their car
 |}
-Notice that the suffix "nira" is used for both masculine and feminine third-person plural pronouns. There is no gender distinction in the Javanese language for the third-person plural pronoun.
+Let's see some examples to understand how to use singular possessive pronouns in sentences:
-However, if a gender distinction is necessary, Javanese speakers typically add a gender-specific word after the possessive pronoun, such as "temenku wadon" (my female friend) or "temenku lanang" (my male friend).
+* Aku arep mangan nasi kang iki. (I am going to eat this rice of mine.)
+* Dheweke mangkat ning kelas yen iki. (He/she is going to the classroom of hers.)
+* Kamu arep nulis buku kowe. (You are going to write your book.)
+* Kita arep mlaku ngarep pasar sing. (We are going to walk towards his/her market.)
-Here are some examples of possessive pronouns in use:
+=== Plural Possessive Pronouns ===
-* Mobilku wis durung muter. ("My car hasn't been turned on yet.")
+Javanese also has different forms of plural possessive pronouns, depending on the gender of the possessed object. The forms are as follows:
-* Mobilmu wis rong minggu duduk ing garasi. ("Your car has been sitting in the garage for two weeks.")

-* Mbe-mbe mobilkita kok lagi roboh, wes golek ing cithakan. ("If our car keeps breaking down, we'll have to look for another one.")
+* Kita arep mangan nasi kita. (We are going to eat our rice.)
+* Kowe arep mlaku ngarep pasar kowe. (You are going to walk towards your market.)
+* Piye arep ngombe kopi sing. (They are going to drink his/her coffee.)
-* Mobilkalian wis ditukar ing bengkel iku? ("Have you guys already had your car repaired in that garage?")
+=== Cultural Insights ===
-* Mobilnira apik banget! ("Their car is really nice!")
+In Javanese culture, possession is often expressed in a more indirect and humble manner compared to English. Javanese people may use the singular possessive pronoun "sing" to show ownership or possession, even when referring to themselves. This reflects the cultural value of humility and modesty. For example, instead of saying "my house," a Javanese person might say "the house of mine" using the possessive pronoun "sing."
-It is also possible to use a possessive pronoun in a sentence without specifying the noun being possessed. In this case, the meaning is usually clear from context. Here are some examples:
+Historically, Javanese society was heavily influenced by Hindu-Buddhist and Islamic traditions, which shaped the language and cultural practices. The concept of possession and ownership has been intertwined with religious and social values, emphasizing the importance of humility and community harmony.
-* Kulawarga sedhep kéndi; ku isih karo nyong. ("The family's teapot is beautiful; it's still with me.")
+=== Practice Exercises ===
-* Wit sing metu saka kamahasané, suluk tekane aku wae. ("What came out of his power, only his shadow is with me.")
+Now, let's practice using possessive pronouns in Javanese sentences. Choose the correct possessive pronoun to complete each sentence and indicate ownership or possession.
-== Possessive Pronouns vs. Possessive Adjectives ==
+. Aku arep mangan nasi ___ iki. (my)
+. Dheweke mangkat ning kelas ___ iki. (hers)
+. Kamu arep nulis buku ___ . (your)
+. Kita arep mlaku ngarep pasar ___ . (his/her)
-In Javanese, you can use both possessive pronouns and possessive adjectives to indicate ownership or possession. While both constructions are grammatically correct, there is a difference in usage and meaning.
+'''Exercise Solutions:'''
-Possessive adjectives are used to describe the owner of the noun, while possessive pronouns are used to indicate the ownership of the noun itself. Here is an example to illustrate the difference:
+. Aku arep mangan nasi '''kang''' iki. (my)
+. Dheweke mangkat ning kelas '''yen''' iki. (hers)
+. Kamu arep nulis buku '''kowe''' . (your)
+. Kita arep mlaku ngarep pasar '''sing''' . (his/her)
-* ora kujojo taneningku. ("It's not my chicken, it's my sibling's.")
+== Summary ==
-In this sentence, the word "kujojo" is a possessive adjective, meaning "my sibling's." It describes the owner of the chicken, not the chicken itself.
+In this lesson, we explored the topic of possessive pronouns in the Javanese language. We learned that Javanese possessive pronouns are used to express ownership or possession of people or things. They come in singular and plural forms, with variations depending on the gender of the possessed object.
