Kinuk'aaz is an agglutinative language.
Pronouns
Kinuk'aaz pronouns have standalone (subject) forms with corresponding suffixal (object) forms, both of which are outlined in the following table:
| Standalone form | Suffixal form | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non-k'u form | K'u form | ||||||
| Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | ||
| First Person | t'ep | kiin | -i | -in | -t | -k | |
| Second Person | uraz/ras/as[1] | vaal | -az | -al | -s/-z | -v | |
| Third Person | Animate | ts'ov | ts'orik | -uu | -ii | -ts | |
| Inanimate | bet | barik | -et | -ii | -p/-b | ||
| Relative | Animate | dzüv | -üü | -ts/-dz | |||
| Inanimate | dzüt | -üt | |||||
- ↑ The full form of the pronoun is uraz, while ras and as are shortened forms. This is not necessarily a formality distinction, although it can be; uraz is typically used in more formal situations. This is context-dependent, however: uraz does not necessarily sound formal in casual situations. In quicker speech, the short forms are preferred.
The different pronoun forms are shown in the following example:
- T'ep maadaz. "I love you."
