== Possessive Pronouns in Twi ==
! Twi !! Pronunciation !! English


Possessive pronouns are words used to indicate ownership or possession. In Twi, possessive pronouns are used in a similar way to English, but with some unique twists. They are used to show who or what owns or possesses something, and they agree with the noun they are referring to in terms of number and gender.
|-


Let's start by learning the basic possessive pronouns in Twi:
| me dea || /me ˈde.a/ || my
 
|-
 
| wo dea || /wo ˈde.a/ || your (singular)
 
|-
 
| no dea || /no ˈde.a/ || his
 
|-
 
| ɔbaa dea || /ɔːˈbɑː ˈde.a/ || her
 
|-
 
| yɛn dea || /jɛn ˈde.a/ || our
 
|-
 
| wɔn dea || /wɔn ˈde.a/ || their
 
|}
 
=== Usage of Possessive Pronouns in Sentences ===
 
Using possessive pronouns in a sentence is quite straightforward. The structure typically follows the pattern of the pronoun followed by '''dea''' (which means "thing" or "belonging"). For instance, if you want to say "my book" in Twi, you would say '''"me dea nwoma"''' (my thing book).
 
Here are some common patterns:
 
* '''Subject + possessive pronoun + dea + noun'''
 
* Example: ''Me dea nwoma'' (My book)
 
* '''Possessive pronoun + noun + verb'''
 
* Example: ''Wo dea yɛ fɛ'' (Your thing is beautiful)
 
=== Examples of Possessive Pronouns ===
 
Let’s look at a variety of examples using possessive pronouns in different contexts. This will help you understand how to seamlessly integrate them into your conversations.
