B. Penggunaan WHOSE
Relative pronoun whose jika digunakan dalam kalimat tanya juga berarti “siapa”,
sedangkan jika digunakan dalam noun clause dan adjective clause biasanya
diterjemahkan menjadi “nya”. Hal ini tergantung pada konteks kalimat.
a. Penggunaan WHOSE dalam kalimat tanya
Berbeda dengan penggunaan who dan whom, penggunaan whose pada umumnya
diikuti oleh noun (i.e. whose + noun), dan digunakan untuk menyatakan kepemilikan
(siapa yang punya) noun tersebut. Pola kalimat tanya yang menggunakan whose adalah:
Whose noun + verb + object + …? (jika yang ditanyakan adalah subject kalimat; Lihat
contoh1&2 di bawah)
Whose noun + auxilliary/kata bantu + verb + object + …? (jika yang ditanyakan
adalah object kalimat; Lihat contoh 3-4)
1. Whose car is this? (Mobil siapa ini?) = Who has this car?
2. Whose money got stolen? (Uang siapa yang dicuri?) = Who has the money
that got stolen?
3. Whose book did you copy? (Buku siapa yang kamu copy?) = Who has the
book (that) you copied?
4. Whose cloth are you wearing? (Bajunya siapa yang sedang kamu pakai?) =
Who has the cloth (that) you are wearing?
