English — possessives
Every possessive in full: masculine, feminine and plural of the thing owned (nominative). English and Polish 3rd-person forms don’t change.
| Meaning | Masculine | Feminine | Plural |
|---|---|---|---|
| my | my | my | my |
| your | your | your | your |
| his | his | his | his |
| her | her | her | her |
| our | our | our | our |
| your (pl.) | your | your | your |
| their | their | their | their |
⚠ Note
English possessive determiners do not agree with the thing owned: each form is invariant, and the choice among my, your, his, her, its, our and their reflects the possessor. Polish jego, jej and ich are also invariant, but other Polish possessives inflect for gender, number and case. German possessives inflect for gender, number and case; French, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese possessives agree in gender and/or number but do not inflect for case.
