What are Possessive Pronouns?[edit | edit source]

Possessive pronouns are words that demonstrate ownership. In English, we have words like "my," "your," "his," "her," "its," "our," and "their." In Kirghiz, possessive pronouns serve a similar function but have unique forms that correspond to the noun being possessed, as well as the person who possesses it.

Importance of Possessive Pronouns in Kirghiz[edit | edit source]

Understanding possessive pronouns is crucial because they allow you to convey relationships and ownership with ease. Whether you're discussing your family, your house, or your favorite book, using the correct possessive pronoun is essential for clarity and fluency.

Kirghiz Possessive Pronouns[edit | edit source]

In Kirghiz, possessive pronouns change based on the pronoun and the noun's characteristics. Here’s a breakdown of the possessive pronouns:

Pronoun	Singular Form	Plural Form
1st Person (I)	менин (menin)	биздин (bizdin)
2nd Person (You)	сенин (senin)	силердин (silerdin)
3rd Person (He/She/It)	анын (anyn)	алардын (aldaryn)

The singular forms are used when referring to one person or object, while the plural forms are for multiple persons or objects.

Examples of Possessive Pronouns in Context[edit | edit source]

To help you understand how these pronouns work in sentences, here are some examples:

Kirghiz	Pronunciation	English
Бул менин китебим.	Bul menin kitebim.	This is my book.
Сенин үйүң кайда?	Senin üýün qayda?	Where is your house?
Анын балдары мектепте.	Any baldary mektepte.	His children are at school.
Биздин машина кызыл.	Bizdin mashina qyzyl.	Our car is red.
Силердин досторуңар жакшы.	Silerdin dostorungar jaksı.	Your friends are nice.
Алардын үйү чоң.	Aldaryn üýü chon.	Their house is big.
Бул менин компьютерим.	Bul menin komputerim.	This is my computer.
Сенин телефонун жокпу?	Senin telefonun joqpu?	Don’t you have your phone?
Анын сабактары кызыктуу.	Any sabaktary qızıqtuu.	His lessons are interesting.
