"I have a dog."

Translation: Mae ci gen i.

[Alkimeer]

Could it also be, "Mae gen i gi"?

[ibisc]

Yes

[Radhicka]

Could it also be 'Mae gan i ci'?

[ibisc]

No. Two things, as shown in the examples and explanations in the notes for this section on 'Possession':

• Mae gen i... - Not * gan i
• This pattern requires a soft mutation of ci -> gi if you put gyda fi/gen i in front of ci

Correct versions:

• Mae [gen i/gyda fi] gi
• Mae ci [gen i/gyda fi]
