Possessive adjectives, equivalent to -'s in English, are formed with the suffixes ''-vo'' (added after the final vowel of masculine nouns ending in ''-o'' or ''-e'') and ''-ino'' (added to non-masculine nouns, replacing the final vowel). When formed from a plural noun, the suffix is ''-sevo'' (added after the final vowel of the plural).

The plural is ~~traditionally~~ formed by changing the final vowel to ''-i'' (masculine) or ''-e'' (feminine). An emphatic plural can be formed with the suffix ''-s'' added after the vowel of the regular plural. However, the emphatic plural is often used ~~in vernacular~~ as the default plural.

The plural is regularly formed by changing the final vowel to ''-i'' (masculine) or ''-e'' (feminine). However, if this would result in the word ending in ''-iji'', the final vowel instead becomes ''-a'' (yielding ''-ija''). Many nouns have irregular plurals, often co-occurring with regular plurals.

An emphatic plural can be formed with the suffix ''-s'' added after the vowel of the regular plural. However, the emphatic plural is often used colloquially as the default plural.

The oblique is formed by adding a final nasal (''-n'') to a noun in the singular or plural.
