About possessive adjectives
I know French has "mon/ ma/ mes".
Do Spanish possessive adjectives (my, his, her, your, our, their) have masculine and feminine and plural forms?
3 Answers
The only one that has a feminine and masculine form is the Spanish word for "our"
Nuestro for males, nuestra for females.
As for plural forms, yes.
Mi ojo. My eye. Mis ojos. My eyes. Tú ojo. Your eye. Tús ojos. Your eyes. Su ojo. His/her/their/"usted" form of your/etc. eye. Sus ojos. His/her/their/"usted" form of your/etc. eyes.
Just to clarify:
Nuestros ojos (it doesn't matter if we're male or female--just that the eyes are masculine) Nuestras galletas
Also, while it's not grammatically incorrect, we usually don't use the possive pronouns (or adjectives) with body parts. We typically use the articles "el, la, los, las": Los ojos, las manos, etc.
I am probably in way over my head here so if there is someone out there that can read this answer and add to it or correct it I would appreciate it.
I have just been studing about acentos diacriticos, Diacritical markings in spanish. There are many of the pro nouns that take an accent when being used as a pronoun. Like "Tú eres el responsable" but when that same word is used as what we would call a possesive pronoun or possessive adjuctive (but which spanish grammer books call an adjetivo), it does not take an accent Like Tu casa es grande. So in the case above I think it would be Tu ojo or Tus ojos.
Help, if this is wrong can someone please weigh in, because I am just going over this right now in my spanish grammer book.
