💡 Nova’s Tip
When ‘저, 나, 너’ combine with the possessive marker ‘의’, they usually shorten to ‘제, 내, 네’ — so ‘저의 가방’ becomes ‘제 가방’ in natural speech!
🇵🇭 Kapag pinagsama ang ‘저, 나, 너’ sa possessive marker na ‘의’, karaniwan itong pinaiikli sa ‘제, 내, 네’ — kaya ang ‘저의 가방’ ay nagiging ‘제 가방’ sa natural na pananalita!
