Possessive adjectives EnglishMasc.Fem.minegle mêla mêyoursgle têla têhis/hersgle sêla sêoursgle nuostrela nostrayoursgle vuostrela vostratheirsle sêla sê In Pizzonese, as with other Southern Italian languages, there can be a fusion of the possessive adjective with the noun it refers to. This mainly applies to possessive kinship terms; pateme for my father; frateme for my brother; sorema for my sister; soreta for your sister. This applies only to words that indicate familiar relationships and is a vestige from Ancient Greek, and is somewhat related to the French counterpart.
