Bosnian to Marathi: a possessive suffix can agree with the noun that follows
The host word identifies the owner, but the ending follows the possession
Bosnian possessive expressions have agreement forms linked to their nouns. Marathi likewise expresses grammatical relationships within a possession phrase, but an ending attached to the owner can agree with the thing possessed. Its physical attachment does not tell the whole story.
The Marathi reference lists चा, ची, चे and च्या, cā, cī, ce and cyā, as possessive forms whose gender and number agreement follows the possession rather than the host owner. A target ending that changes beside one person’s different belongings does not automatically change that person’s identity.
For a Bosnian source naming a colleague’s document and another item, identify the owner once and construct each target possession phrase with the appropriate noun agreement. Repeating one ending simply because the name is unchanged can be wrong. Conversely, copying the source noun’s gender without checking the Marathi noun can produce an inconsistent target phrase.
Accompaniment is a different attached relation
The same reference distinguishes Marathi -शी, śī, in comitative use and -ने, ne, in ergative use. These are not interchangeable alternatives for a general Bosnian case ending. Their role depends on the target construction and the relationship the source expresses.
The Bosnian specification separately records instrumental, dative and accusative environments. A person accompanying the writer and a person receiving an item occupy different source roles even if both are mentioned near a verb of movement. The target must preserve that distinction rather than choose a suffix from its location beside a personal noun.
A source owner is also separate from the actor. In past transitive patterns, Marathi can mark the actor ergative while agreement responds to the object in the cited account. A Bosnian nominative subject should therefore not be forced into an unmarked target form merely because the same person remains responsible for the action.
A word glossed come or go may serve a passive construction
The Marathi reference includes येणे, yeṇe, and जाणे, jāṇe, in passive constructions with non-finite lexical material. A target can contain a come- or go-related component without reporting an additional journey.
For a Bosnian message saying that an item was processed or sent, distinguish a passive construction from a statement about a person moving. Translating each target component through its most familiar lexical gloss could invent an arrival or departure that the source never states.
The same source distinguishes ability expressed through शकणे, śakaṇe, from necessity-related पाहिजे, pāhije. A request saying someone can act differs from one saying they should act. Correct participant cases and a correct action root cannot repair that modal change.
For this direction, follow the Bosnian owner, companion, actor and affected object before constructing the Marathi phrase. Then interpret the whole target predicate, including passive or modal material. A short form attached to an owner may agree with a possession, while a full-looking action word may contribute grammar rather than another event. Those functions must be read through their constructions rather than surface word boundaries.
