Tibetan

Particle

གི • ‎(gi)

1. One of the five genitive particles, used after ག ‎(ga) or ང ‎(nga).

Usage notes

The five genitive particles are: འི ‎('i) (after vowels), ཡི ‎(yi) (after vowels), གི ‎(gi) (after -g or -ng), ཀྱི ‎(kyi) (after -d, -b, -s) and གྱི ‎(gyi) (after -n, -m, -r, -l).

The last three are usually pronounced identically in Lhasa Tibetan, and may be all written as གི ‎(gi).
