How do you make Inuit plural possessive?

Inuit languages do not have a singular/plural distinction like English. Therefore, there's no specific "plural possessive" form. The possessive form in Inuit is expressed through suffixes that indicate the relationship between the possessor and the possessed object.

Here's how it works:

1. Identify the possessor: Who owns the object?

2. Determine the relationship between the possessor and the possessed object: Is it a direct possession (e.g., my house), or an indirect possession (e.g., the house of my friend)?

3. Use the appropriate suffix:

* Direct possession: The suffix for direct possession varies based on the possessed object's grammatical category (noun, verb, etc.) and the possessor's number (singular or plural).

* Indirect possession: Suffixes like "-up" or "-nga" are used to indicate indirect possession.

Example:

* Singular possessor:

* Direct Possession: "Atuq-a" (My house)

* Indirect Possession: "Atuq-up ajuga" (The house of my friend)

* Plural possessor:

* Direct Possession: "Atuq-it" (Our house)

* Indirect Possession: "Atuq-nga ajuga" (The house of our friends)

Key Points:

* No separate plural form: The same possessive suffixes can be used for both singular and plural possessors, with slight variations.

* Context is key: The context of the sentence will often indicate whether the possessor is singular or plural.

It's important to note: The specific suffixes used may vary slightly between different Inuit dialects.
