Possessive Adjective in Esperanto
Now that we have learned the pronouns: mi vi li ŝi ĝi ni vi ili oni (I you he she it we you they one), we can form the possessive adjectives:
Possessive Adjective in Esperanto | Possessive Adjective in English |
---|---|
mia | my |
via | your |
lia | his |
ŝia | her |
ĝia | its |
nia | our |
via | your |
ilia (pronounced ee-LEE-a) | their |
onia | one’s |
Possessive adjectives in Esperanto are really adjectives because they identify (describe) the nouns they are attached to.
- Mia plumo = my pen.
The ending "-a" on possessive adjectives follows the same rules about agreement as adjectives:
- Mia amiko amas mian fratinon. Miaj amikoj amas miajn fratinojn.
