There are prefixes and suffixes that determine whether the topic is my, our, your, his/her or their. If you want to say "my” or “our”, the prefixes begin with an “N”, the exclusive term, sometimes followed by another consonant and a vowel, eg: “Ndi, ndo, nda”. The letter “G” is for “our”, the inclusive term, and for “your”, singular and plural, eg: gdi, gdo, gda. For third person singular and plural “his/her” and “their”, sometimes it is just “di, do, da”, but with the added suffix “im”.
