Possessivpronomen Theorie

Gayathri Elumalai
12/08/2023 0 0

Aim of this section is to learn the possessive pronous and their use in the four cases.

 

German

English

Kennst du seinen Namen?

Ich schicke deiner Schwester eine Nachricht.

Do you know his name?

I send a message to your sister.

 

 

The problem - endings

 

The real problem are once again the endings.

They depend on the gender, numerus and case of the noun.

To choose the correct ending you need exactly the same rules which we already used in Adjektivendungen.

TABLES:

meiner Frau

meinem Kind

meinen Kindern

accusative

meinen Mann

meine Frau

mein Kind

meine Kinder

 

 

 

"declension" of the possessive pronoun: dein (=your, singular)

 

case

singular

plural

male

female

neuter

-

nominative

dein Kind

deine Kinder

genitive

deines Mannes

deiner Frau

accusative

"declension" of the possessive pronoun: sein (=his, its)

 

case

singular

plural

male

female

neuter

-

nominative

sein Mann

seine Frau

sein Kind

seine Kinder

genitive

seines Mannes

seiner Frau

seines Kindes

seiner Kinder

dative

seinem Mann

seiner Frau

seinem Kind

seinen Kindern

accusative

seinen Mann

seine Frau

sein Kind

seine Kinder

 

 

 

"declension" of the possessive pronoun: ihr (=her, their)

 

case

singular

plural

male

female

neuter

-

nominative

ihr Mann

ihre Frau

ihr Kind

ihre Kinder

genitive

ihres Mannes

ihrer Frau

ihres Kindes

ihrer Kinder

dative

ihrem Mann

ihrer Frau

ihrem Kind

ihren Kindern

accusative

ihren Mann

ihre Frau

ihr Kind

ihre Kinder

 

 

"declension" of the possessive pronoun: unser (=our)

 

case

singular

plural

male

female

neuter

-

nominative

unser Vater

unsere Mutter

unser Kind

unsere Kinder

genitive

unseres Vaters

unserer Mutter

unseres Kindes

unserer Kinder

dative

unserem Vater

unserer Mutter

unserem Kind

unseren Kindern

accusative

unseren Vater

unsere Mutter

unser Kind

unsere Kinder

 

 

 

"declension" of the possessive pronoun: euer (=your, plural)

 

case

singular

plural

male

female

neuter

-

nominative

euer Vater

eure Mutter*

euer Kind

eure Kinder*

genitive

eures Vaters*

eurer Mutter*

eures Kindes*

eurer Kinder*

dative

eurem Vater*

eurer Mutter*

eurem Kind*

euren Kindern*

accusative

euren Vater*

eure Mutter*

euer Kind

eure Kinder*

  

As you can see all possessive pronouns have got the same endings. So, you just have to learn one and you know all. If you compare it with the "declension" of indifinite articles you will see they also have the same endings. That makes it much easier. Of course there is an exception. The possessive pronoun "euer" (=your, plural) drops the "e" in the middle (marked with a *) if it has got an ending.
