How do languages show possession?

Possession may be marked in many ways, such as simple juxtaposition of nouns, possessive case, possessed case, construct state (as in Arabic, and Nêlêmwa), or adpositions (possessive suffixes, possessive adjectives).

What languages use postpositions?

In some languages, including Sindhi, Hindi, Urdu, Turkish, Korean, and Japanese, the same kinds of words typically come after their complement. To indicate this, they are called postpositions (using the prefix post-, from Latin post meaning “behind, after”).

Is there any difference in the way Alienables and Inalienables are possessed?

The distinction is confined to attributive possession. Alienable possession requires more phonological or morphological features than inalienable possession. Inalienable possession involves a tighter structural bond between the possessor and the possessee.

Do other languages use apostrophes for possession?

In many languages, especially European languages, the apostrophe is used to indicate the elision of one or more sounds, as in English. In Albanian the apostrophe is used to show that a vowel has been omitted from words, especially in different forms of verbs and in some forms of personal pronoun.

What is difference between prepositions and Postpositions?

Prepositions and postpositions are words that precede or follow noun phrases (e.g. nouns or pronouns), and form adverbials with them. Prepositions come before noun phrases, and postpositions come after them. An example of a preposition is gaskkal, “between”, and an example of a postposition is haga, “without”.

Can a language have both prepositions and Postpositions?

Some languages have both prepositions and postpositions. While there are some languages in which specific adpositions can be used either as prepositions or as postpositions, in most languages of mixed adposition type, some of the adpositions are always prepositions while others are always postpositions.
