Possessive pronouns are used to indicate ownership or possession. In Thai, they are similar to adjectives, as they must agree with the noun they modify in both gender and number.
Take a moment to explore these relevant pages as you conclude this lesson: Nouns & Object Pronouns.
Possessive Pronouns
In Thai, possessive pronouns come before the noun they modify. Here are some of the most commonly used possessive pronouns in Thai:
| Thai | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| ของฉัน | khǎawng chǎn | my/mine |
| ของเธอ | khǎawng thooe | your/yours (singular) |
| ของเรา | khǎawng rao | our/ours |
| ของพวกเขา | khǎawng phûuak khǎo | their/theirs |
Note that possessive pronouns in Thai do not have separate forms for masculine and feminine nouns.
Here are some examples of how to use possessive pronouns in Thai sentences:
- นี่เป็นหนังสือของฉัน (nîi bpen năng-sǔue khǎawng chǎn) - This is my book.
- คอมพิวเตอร์นั้นเป็นของเรา (khawm-piw-dtuhr nán bpen khǎawng rao) - That computer is ours.
- มือถือของเธอสวยมาก (meuu-thǔue khǎawng thooe sǔuai maak) - Your phone is very beautiful.
- รถยนต์ของพวกเขาแพงมาก (roht-yán khǎawng phûuak khǎo phaeng maak) - Their car is very expensive.
Note that the use of the possessive pronoun ของ (khǎawng) can be omitted in Thai sentences, especially in informal conversation.
