Learning how to express possession is an essential part of any language. In Yue Chinese, there are several ways to express possession, but the most common is by using possessive pronouns. These pronouns are used to indicate the person or thing that possesses or owns something. In this lesson, we will learn how to use possessive pronouns in Yue Chinese.
=== What Are Possessive Pronouns? ===
 
Possessive pronouns are words that show ownership or belonging. In English, we have pronouns like "my," "your," "his," "her," "our," and "their." Similarly, Yue Chinese has its own set of possessive pronouns that serve the same purpose.
 
Here’s a quick overview of the possessive pronouns in Yue Chinese:


== What Are Possessive Pronouns? ==
* '''My''' - 我嘅 (ngo5 ge3)


Possessive pronouns are replacing nouns that show ownership. In English, possessive pronouns include words like "mine," "yours," "his," "hers," "ours," and "theirs." Just like in English, possessive pronouns in Yue Chinese are used to show ownership. They take the place of nouns and help clarify who owns what.
* '''Your''' - 你嘅 (nei5 ge3)


Here is an overview of the personal pronouns and possessive pronouns in Yue Chinese:
* '''His''' - 佢嘅 (keoi5 ge3)
 
'' '''Her''' - 佢嘅 (keoi5 ge3) ''(Note: Both "his" and "her" use the same term)*
 
* '''Our''' - 我哋嘅 (ngo5 dei6 ge3)
 
* '''Their''' - 佢哋嘅 (keoi5 dei6 ge3)
 
=== Forms of Possessive Pronouns in Yue Chinese ===
 
In Yue Chinese, possessive pronouns are formed by taking the personal pronoun and adding the particle 嘅 (ge3) to indicate possession.
 
Here's how it works:
 
* '''我 (ngo5)''' means "I" or "me," and '''我嘅 (ngo5 ge3)''' means "my."
 
* '''你 (nei5)''' means "you," and '''你嘅 (nei5 ge3)''' means "your."
 
* '''佢 (keoi5)''' means "he/she," and '''佢嘅 (keoi5 ge3)''' means "his/her."
 
* '''我哋 (ngo5 dei6)''' means "we," and '''我哋嘅 (ngo5 dei6 ge3)''' means "our."
 
* '''佢哋 (keoi5 dei6)''' means "they," and '''佢哋嘅 (keoi5 dei6 ge3)''' means "their."
 
=== Example Sentences ===
 
Now, let’s look at some examples to illustrate how these possessive pronouns are used in sentences.
