Pronunciation and spelling of demonstrative pronouns
When “mana” and “ana” combine with bu or shu, they are written as separate words: mana bu, ana shu. In everyday speech they shorten to forms like manavi, anovi, and in fiction they are also found written that way. When the dative (-ga), locative (-da) or ablative (-dan) case suffix or a possessive suffix is added to bu, shu, u, o‘sha, the sound n appears between them: bunga, shunda, undan, o‘shanga. The same happens with the suffix -cha: uncha, buncha. With men and sen, on the contrary, one n drops when -ning or -ni is added, and the words are written that way: mening, sening, meni, seni.
“Is the n right?”: cards show “bunga”, “buga”, “shunda”, “shuda”; choose the correct ones.
