3. MORPHOLOGY
Interrogative pronouns are used to ask questions.
kaOna laD,ka? køn laṛka:? which boy?
@yaa kama? kya: ka:m? what work?
The possessive pronouns particularize or show relation.

maorI / AapkI baihna meri:/a:pki: bahan my/your sister
]saka / ]naka Baa[- uska:/unka: bha:i: his/their brother

3.3.4. Degree of Adjectives
There are three varieties of adjectival degrees: superlative,
comparative and minimal. Superlative and comparative degrees of
qualities are denoted with the help of the postposition sao se attached
to the noun or pronoun (in oblique form) with which the comparison
is made. Superlative involves comparison with all. For example,
saba sao baD,I [maart sab se bari: ima:rat the biggest building
saba sao sauMdr laD,kI sab se sundar larki: the most beautiful girl
Comparative involves comparison between two.
Apnao daost sao laMbaa apne dost se lamba: taller than his friend
Minimal involves no comparison.
maora AcCa daost mera: accha: dost my good friend
The postposition maoM mẽ is also alternately used to denote the
superiority of one out of two or more.
