Possessive Adjectives EnglishNeap. masc.Neap. fem.minemiomiayourstujotojahis/hersujosojaoursnuostonuostayoursvuostovuostatheirs(l)loro(l)loro In Neapolitan, as with other Southern Italian vernaculars, there can be a fusion of the possessive adjective with the noun it refers to. For example: mammema for my mother; fratemo for my brother; sòcrema for my mother-in-law; sòreta for your sister (the e within these words are a muted schwa sound). This applies only to words that indicate relationships with a family and probably stems from Greek (agapèmo for my love, for example).
