Example sentence
فَلَمَّا رَأَتْنِي إِمْرَأَتِي،
When my wife saw me,
إِمْرَأَتِي my wife
This noun takes the attached possessive 'my', so it means 'my wife' in a single word, and it is the subject of the verb 'saw' before it. The possessive suffix makes the noun definite on its own. Though it follows the verb, it is the one doing the seeing, normal Arabic verb-first order.

And if he had intercourse with his wife and did not say the name of Allah, then he had intercourse with her.
إِمْرَأَتَهُ his wife
A noun in the object accusative carrying the owner ending '-hu' (his): his wife. The suffix names the owner and the case marks it as the object.
فَسَأَلَ إِمْرَأَتَهُ
So he asked his wife.
امْرَأَته his wife
This noun has -hu, the 'his' possessor, fused to its end, so one word means 'his wife'. It is the direct object of the asking verb, the one questioned. The possessor folds the owner into the noun rather than using a separate word.
