My, Your, His, Her, Our, Their (part 2)

Possesive Adjectives: My, Your, His, Her, Our, Their

Part two of this lesson started will deal with single feminine words:

For feminine singuar words:

my -ma (ma) ma table (ma tah bluh) -my table

your -ta (tohn) ta tante (tah tahnt) -your aunt

his, her -sa (sah) sa bicyclette (sah bee see kleht) -his, her bicycle

our -notre (noh truh) notre carte (noh truh kahrt) -our menu

your -votre (voh truh) votre table (voh truh tah bluh) - your table

their -leur (loor) leur voiture (loor vwah churr) -their car

As you can see notre, votre, & leur are used for both male & female singular words.

Now a tricky part. With feminine singular words that begin with a vowel or an "h", you would not use ma, sa, or ta.

You would use the mon, son, & ton form. So even though the word maybe feminine, you would use the masculine

possesive adjective to describe it:

mon amie (mohn amie) my female friend

ton ècole (tohn ay kohl) your school

son histoire (sohn ees twah) -his, her story

ta is used when refering to a feminine relative or close friend:

ta tante (tah tahnt) -your aunt

ta sœur (tah soor) -your sister

ta mère (tah mehr) -your mother

votre is used with feminine singular objects:

votre voiture (voh truh vwah churr) -your car

votre table (voh truh tah bluh) -your table

votre bicyclette (voh truh bee see kleht) -your bicycle

Part 3 will be posted next week
