As a Telugu language teacher with over 20 years of teaching experience, I understand that possessive pronouns are an important aspect of any language including Telugu. Telugu is a beautiful language that has been spoken for centuries in the state of Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, and other parts of Indian sub-continent. In this lesson, I will guide you through the Telugu possessive pronouns, such as my, your, his, her, its, our, and their. This lesson will help you talk about possession and ownership in Telugu.  
=== What are Possessive Pronouns? ===
 
Possessive pronouns are words used to indicate ownership. In English, they include words like "my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our," and "their." In Telugu, these pronouns serve the same purpose, allowing you to express who owns or possesses something.
 
=== List of Telugu Possessive Pronouns ===
 
Here’s a quick look at the possessive pronouns in Telugu:
 
{| class="wikitable"

=== Usage of Possessive Pronouns with Examples ===
 
Now, let’s explore how these pronouns are used in sentences. The context in which you use possessive pronouns can change the meaning slightly, so understanding their application is vital.
 
== 1. My (నా - nā)
 
* '''Example:''' నా పుస్తకం (nā pustakaṁ) - My book
 
* '''Explanation:''' Here, "నా" indicates that the book belongs to the speaker.
 
== 2. Your (నీ - nī)
 
* '''Example:''' నీ కారు (nī kāru) - Your car
 
* '''Explanation:''' "నీ" shows that the car belongs to the listener.
 
== 3. His (అతని - atani)
 
* '''Example:''' అతని ఇల్లు (atani illu) - His house
 
* '''Explanation:''' "అతని" indicates that the house belongs to a male individual mentioned earlier.
 
== 4. Her (ఆమె - āme)
 
* '''Example:''' ఆమె జేబు (āme jēbu) - Her pocket
 
* '''Explanation:''' "ఆమె" signifies that the pocket belongs to a female individual.
 
== 5. Its (దాని - dāni)
 
* '''Example:''' దాని పేరు (dāni pēru) - Its name
 
* '''Explanation:''' "దాని" is used for non-human entities or animals to indicate possession.
 
== 6. Our (మన - mana)
 
* '''Example:''' మన నగరం (mana nagaraṁ) - Our city


<h2>Why Possessive Pronouns are Important in Telugu</h2>
* '''Explanation:''' "మన" indicates that the city belongs to the group including the speaker.


Possessive pronouns are used to show ownership or possession of something. By adding a possessive pronoun to a noun or pronoun, we can indicate that something belongs to someone or something. For example, by saying "my book," we are letting others know that the book belongs to us. In Telugu, possessive pronouns are used in the same way as they are used in English.  
== 7. Their (వారి - vāri)


<h2>Telugu Possessive Pronouns</h2>
* '''Example:''' వారి వంటకం (vāri vaṇṭakaṁ) - Their dish


In Telugu, like in English, possessive pronouns are used to indicate ownership or possession of an object. Here are the Telugu possessive pronouns:
* '''Explanation:''' "వారి" shows that the dish belongs to a group of people mentioned previously.
