_malyatsa ghoda_, the gardener's horse. _malyace ghode_, the gardener's horses. _malyaci ghodi_, the gardener's mare. _malyacya ghodya_, the gardener's mares. _malyace ghode_, the gardener's horse (neut.). _malyaci ghodi_, the gardener's horses (neut.). The suffix _tsa_, _ci_, _ce_, is derived from the Sanskrit suffix _tyakas_, Pr. _cao_, which is used in much the same sense. In Sanskrit it may be added either to the locative or to the unmodified base of the word to which it is attached, thus, _ghotake-tyakas_ or _ghotaka-tyakas_. Similarly in Marathi, while it is usually added to the general oblique base, it may also be added to the unmodified noun, in which case it has a more distinctly adjectival force. The use of _tsa_ has been influenced by the fact that the Sanskrit word _krtyas_, Pr. _kiccao_, also takes the same form in Marathi. As explained in the article HINDOSTANI, synonyms of this word are used in other Indo-Aryan languages to form suffixes of the genitive.[7] Strong adjectives, including genitives, can be declined like substantives, and agree with the qualified noun in gender, number and case. When the substantive is in an oblique case, the adjective is put into the general oblique form without any defining postposition, which is added to the substantive alone. Weak adjectives are not inflected in modern prose, but are inflected in poetry. As in other Indo-Aryan languages, comparison is effected by putting the noun with which comparison is made in the ablative case. The pronouns closely follow the Prakrit originals. The origin of all these is discussed in the article HINDOSTANI, and the account need not be repeated here. As usual in these languages, there is no pronoun of the third person, its place being supplied by the demonstratives. The following are the principal pronominal forms:-- _mi_, I, instr. _mi_, _mya_, dat. _mala_, obl. _madz_; _amhi_, we, instr. _amhi_, obl. _amha_; _madzha_, my, of me; _amtsa_, our, of us. _tu_, thou, instr. _tu_, _twa_, dat. _tula_, obl. _tudz_; _tumhi_, you, instr. _tumhi_, obl. _tumha_; _tudzha_, thy, of thee; _tumtsa_, your, of you. _apan_, self, obl. _ap^ana_, gen. _ap^ala_. This is also employed as an honorific pronoun of the second person, and, in addition, to mean "we including you." _ha_, this, fem., _hi_, neut. _he_; _to_, he, that, fem. _ti_, neut. _te_; _dzo_, who, fem., _ji_, neut. _je_. _kon_, who? _kay_, what? obl. _kasa_; _koni_, any one; _kahi_, anything. In all these the plural is employed honorifically instead of the singular.
