First person singular possessive pronoun (yâu’l-mütekellim) has an important role in Arabic grammar. Grammarians put great emphasis on this pronoun, which has the property of conjoining with both noun, verb and letter. Generally pronouns, first person singular possessive pronoun in particular, are frequently used in both religious texts and poetry and proverbs in Arabic. There are certain features that distinguish this pronoun from the others. For example, whereas the other pronouns in the same category are used with hareke, yâu’l-mütekellim is used without hareke. Also, while the harekes of other pronouns do not change, sometimes fetha and sometimes kesra can be put as hareke on yâu’lmütekellim, which is originally without hareke. In addition, other pronouns do not have any effect on the noun they are conjoined with whereas yâu’l-mütekellim inevitably makes the last hareke of the noun it is conjoined with kesra. Furthermore, unlike other pronouns, i‘rab of both yâu’l-mütekellim and the noun it is attached to is a contraversial issue among grammarians.
