2. '''Select the appropriate pronoun:''' Choose the correct possessive pronoun based on the owner.
 
3. '''Combine them:''' Place the possessive pronoun before the noun.


* Aku arep mangan nasi kang iki. (I am going to eat this rice of mine.)
For instance:
* Dheweke mangkat ning kelas yen iki. (He/she is going to the classroom of hers.)
* Kamu arep nulis buku kowe. (You are going to write your book.)
* Kita arep mlaku ngarep pasar sing. (We are going to walk towards his/her market.)

Let's see some examples to understand how to use plural possessive pronouns in sentences:
=== Important Notes about Usage ===
 
* '''Context Matters:''' The choice of possessive pronoun can convey different levels of formality. "mu" is informal and used with friends, while "e" is neutral.


* Kita arep mangan nasi kita. (We are going to eat our rice.)
* '''Plural Forms:''' When addressing a group, use "kowe" or "kita" to indicate collective ownership.
* Kowe arep mlaku ngarep pasar kowe. (You are going to walk towards your market.)
* Piye arep ngombe kopi sing. (They are going to drink his/her coffee.)


=== Cultural Insights ===
* '''Regional Variations:''' Depending on the region, you might encounter slight variations in pronunciation or usage.


In Javanese culture, possession is often expressed in a more indirect and humble manner compared to English. Javanese people may use the singular possessive pronoun "sing" to show ownership or possession, even when referring to themselves. This reflects the cultural value of humility and modesty. For example, instead of saying "my house," a Javanese person might say "the house of mine" using the possessive pronoun "sing."
=== Practice Exercises ===


Historically, Javanese society was heavily influenced by Hindu-Buddhist and Islamic traditions, which shaped the language and cultural practices.
