These concord prefixes are considered formal and old-fashioned, and are normally replaced with animacy-based concords. Words agreeing with animate nouns use classes 1/2, while those agreeing with inanimate nouns use classes 5/6, 9/10 (used by this article), or some combination (e.g. 9/6). When a modifier is used with a noun, the concord prefix can optionally be omitted.<!-- With verbs, class 16-18 prefixes are used even in informal language; others are replaced with animacy concords.--> | These concord prefixes are considered formal and old-fashioned, and are normally replaced with animacy-based concords.
