Lesson 12: He, She, and That

Index · Lesson 11: We and You All · Lesson 13: Those

सः, सा, and तत् have been the subject words “he,” “she,” and “that.” This lesson is the other jobs, one person or one thing. More than one is the next lesson.

For a woman, “from her” and “of her” are both तस्याः. For a thing, the subject and the object are both तत्. That is the same pattern as छात्रायाः in Lesson 4, and as पुस्तकम् in Lesson 5.
