CYPRIOT GRAMMAR

Τhe list above might seem overwhelming and difficult but do not let its appearance deceive you. For the first and second person the
pronouns for accusative and genitive are the same for both strong and weak forms and the weak form of the third person is almost the
same as the definite articles.
7.7 Periphrastic Personal Pronouns
Cypriot in addition to the above personal pronouns also has periphrastic personal pronouns which at the same time can also act as relative
pronouns. These are:
7.7.1 Periphrastic Accusative/Genitive Pronouns
Plural___________Singular
Για λλόου μου_____Για λλόου μας
Για λλόου σου_____Για λλόου τους
Για λλόου του_____Για λλόου τους
Για λλόου της_____Για λλόου τους
Για λλόου τους____Για λλόου τους
The Pronouns above can be used for non-emphatic Personal pronouns in the Accusative and Genitive.
7.7.2 Periphrastic Possessive Pronouns
Plural___________Singular
Δικόν/η/ον μου___Δικόν μας
Δικόν/η/ον σου___Δικόν σας
Δικόν/η/ον του___Δικόν τους
Δικόν/η/ον της___Δικόν τους
Δικό του____Δικόν τους
These pronouns are used emphatically as Possesive pronouns.
7.7.3 Rules
1) Strong personal pronouns in the Nominative are placed before the verb but are almost always omitted
2) Weak forms are used always with a verb, they never stand alone.
3) Strong Personal pronouns are always put after the verb.
4) Weak personal pronouns are placed after the verb is the Present, Imperfect Tense and Imperative but before the verb in any other
tense or negation.
5) Strong forms of pronouns for each case are used for emphasis.
