Possessive Adjective in Esperanto
Now that we have learned the pronouns: mi vi li ŝi ĝi ni vi ili oni (I you he she it we you they one), we can form the possessive adjectives:
| Possessive Adjective in Esperanto | Possessive Adjective in English |
| mia | my |
| via | your |
| lia | his |
| ŝia | her |
| ĝia | its |
| nia | our |
| via | your |
| ilia (pronounced ee-LEE-a) | their |
| onia | one’s |
Possessive adjectives in Esperanto are really adjectives because they identify (describe) the nouns they are attached to.
- Mia plumo = my pen.
The ending "-a" on possessive adjectives follows the same rules about agreement as adjectives:
- Mia amiko amas mian fratinon. Miaj amikoj amas miajn fratinojn.
