Reflexive-possessive pronoun *svojь
Show Notes

First of all, I am going to have to admit - the quality of this audio is bad since I am experiencing some issues with my microphone. Still, I hope it won´t be too distracting and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Slavic languages express the belonging of the person or object in question through the reflexive-possessive pronoun *𝐬𝐯𝐨𝐣ь. But when exactly is it used and what is its role among all the other possessive pronouns? 𝐓𝐮𝐧𝐞 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐟𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐮𝐭!
