Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns are used to show ownership or a relationship between two things or people. In Persian, there are two types of possessive pronouns: dependent and independent.

Dependent possessive pronouns are used before the noun they modify and agree with it in gender and number. For example:

Iranian Persian	Pronunciation	English
خانه من	xāne-ye man	my house

Independent possessive pronouns come after the noun they modify and do not change form. For example:

Iranian Persian	Pronunciation	English
کتاب من	ketāb-e man	my book

Here is a list of Persian possessive pronouns:

Pronoun	Dependent form	Independent form
my	من / ی من	من
your (singular, informal)	تو / ی تو	تو
his/her/its	او / ی او	او
our	ما / ی ما	ما
your (plural, formal)	شما / ی شما	شما
their	آنها / ی آنها	آنها

Note that in Persian, the independent form of the possessive pronoun is used more frequently than the dependent form.

Using Possessive Pronouns

Possessive pronouns in Persian are used in the same way as in English. Here are some examples:

کتاب من اینجاست. (My book is here.)
پدر تو چطوره؟ (How is your father?)
خانه ما خیلی بزرگ است. (Our house is very big.)
لباس آنها خیلی شیک است. (Their clothes are very stylish.)
