Hello there KarlRein,

 KarlRein <KarlRein at aol.com> wrote

Please give us some sentences as examples.

Just a couple of examples:
Ze vader es gestorven. Mar zene pa leeft nog.
Me breu komt morgen. Ze zuster kan nie meekomen. Heur moeder es ziek. Heur
vader es al langk geleën gestorven
  The word 'moe' is treated as a feminine noun before the poss. pron. mijn
(men) and zijn (zen): e.g.  : Men/zen moe es in de kliniek. Neutral would
have been: me, ze. Before other possessive pronouns (ons (ö:s), hun, uw
(oer) it wouldn't make any difference as neutral and feminine forms for
these pronouns are exactly the same.
 'Pa' is clearly masculine: Mene, oere (uw), heure, zene, onze (ö:ze), hunne
pa.

As you will see, the situation is rathercomplicated .

Kind regards,

In Getelands broer , moeder, vader en zuster are neutal when preceded by a
possessive pronoun. Pa en moe don't follow this rule. They are respectively
masculine and feminine.
