"muña ñuha"

Translation: my mother

[Zerr_]

When do we put ñuha before a noun and when do we put it after?

[elilla.b]

Both are possible, but if you put it after the word, it sounds more formal and official. Kind of like English "my mother" vs. "mother of mine". For example:

• When Her Grace says "Valyrian is my mother tongue", she says Valyrio muño ēngos ñuhys issa, "Valyrian mother tongue of-mine is" (S03, E04).
• But when trying to calm down a citizen, she in her wisdom chooses the more casual pattern, with "my" first: "Zūgagon daor, ñuhys raqiros. "Fear not, my friend" (S04, E10).

Unfortunately, "mother of mine" isn't accepted yet. Maybe one day :)

So both muña ñuha and ñuha muña are correct and mean the same thing?

[oderalon]

"ñuha" is reminiscent of Quechua "ñuqa" ("I", "me").

what about the pronounciation?

[Anarhi]

I am watching way too much GOT to catch the pronunciations now. That and YouTube

[Jonlang_]

Does HV follow a Celtic-like genitive pattern? "muña ñuha" = "mother (of) me" = "my mother"?

[elilla.b]

Both orders are possible, but possessive-last sounds more formal. The same is true of adjectives.

So can anyone tell me where are those guides? i cannot find them :c

[LynnofErebor]

um, I don't think I did it wrong, but it said I did, when the correct answer was identical to mine. Help!!

[Robbadob]

Did you write the accents? Muña ñuha, not muna nuha.
