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.
