Lesson 21 - Duadek-e-unesma Leciono Possessive Case
The English possessive case has to be turned round and translated by the preposition "di":
The father's dog - La hundo di la patro
The mother's meeting - La asemblo di la matro
A mother's meeting - Asemblo di matro
A beggar's revenge - Venjo di mendikisto
With prepositions "to" and "at", the possessive case is translated by preposition "che":
She lives at her uncle's house - Elu lojas che sua onklulo.
He went to his tailor's (shop). - Ilu iris che sua talioro.
The possessive case was formerly used with all nouns. We still find traces of it in expressions like,"an hour's walk", where there is no real possession, and preposition "de" is to be used.
an hour's walk - un horo de marcho, or, marcho de/dum un horo
A few expressions where the possessive case is found can be rendered by simpler forms:
at arm's length - ye brakio-disto
for mercy's sake - pro kompato
a hair's breadth - har-dikeso
to-day's news - la ca-diala nuveli*
for form's sake - por la formo
Another form of possessive is the adjectival noun:
a railway carriage - fervoyala vagono, or, vagono di fervoyo
the park gate - la parkala pordego, or, la pordego di la parko
Possessive marks (-'ens or -'ns : not yet officialized in ULI). When ambiguty can not be avoided, special possessive marks could be used.
Co esas la stulteso di Marx, qua esas extraordinara. --->
Co esas Marx'ens stulteso, qua esas extraordinara.
Co esas la stulteso di Marx, qua'ns personeso esas extraordinara.
Ci esas la liti dil soldati, di qua gambin onu ruptabas.
Ci esas la soldati'ns liti'ns gambi, quin onu ruptabas.
Ci esas la liti dil soldati, qui'ns gambin onu ruptabas.
Possessive: That
The possessive case at the end of a sentence often has to be translated by the pronoun "that":
He said his writing was better than his brother's (that ofhis brother). - Ilu dicis ke lua skribajo esas plu bona kam ta di lua fratulo.
She liked her sister's best (that ofher sister). - Elu maxim prizas ta di sua fratino.
It is as good as my grandfather's (as that of my grandfather). - Olu esas tam bona kam ta di mea avulo.
It is the old man's (that of the old man). - Olu esas ta di la oldulo. (active verb): It belongs to the old man. - Olu apartenas a la oldulo.
Partitive Article
When the indefinite adjectives "some","any" are used with words of quantity in place of "a","an", they are not to be translated.
The children have some bread. - La infanti havas pano.
Did he get any money? - Kad ilu recevis pekunio?
He wrote without any ink. - Ilu skribis sen inko.
In such cases the word "some" or "any" could easily be left out.
Did he get money? etc. - Kad ilu recevis pekunio?
If the word "some" or "any" cannot be left out, then it is an adjective or a pronoun, and must be translated:
Whether he got any or not, I don't know.
Kad ilu recevis kelka o ne, me ne savas.
Apparent Plural
Note the following and all similar: bellows - suflilo breeches - pantalono scissors - cizo tongs - tenalio billiards - biliardo contents - kontenajo dregs - lizo
alms - almono od almoni
means - moyeno o moyeni
news - novumo o novumi
Some nouns of quantity remain singular in English when preceded by a number :
They had three brace of partridges and six dozen oysters. Li havis tri pari [de] perdriki e sis dekedui [de] ostri.
