Possessive Articles in German

Please note, while learning a new language like German, it is best to not translate everything. Understanding the grammar, its rules, and the context of what we want to say and how we say it is very important. However, considering this is a textual medium, I may provide some translations to English for better understanding.

Before going ahead, if you're not familiar with the personal pronouns, you can quickly refer here - Personal Pronouns in German

Here's a table for the possessive articles of German/Deutsch.

Personalpronomen - Possessivartikel

Genus	Maskulin	Feminin	Neutrum	Plural
Pronomen	der Mann	die Frau	das Baby	die Kinder
ich	mein	meine	mein	meine
du	dein	deine	dein	deine
er	sein	seine	sein	seine
es	sein	seine	sein	seine
sie	ihr	ihre	ihr	ihre
wir	unser	unsere	unser	unsere
ihr	euer	eure	euer	eure
sie	ihr	ihre	ihr	ihre
Sie	Ihr	Ihre	Ihr	Ihre

Now if we go with literal translations, it would go something like: my, your, his, it's, her, our, yours, theirs. Considering there are genders and the plural form in the German language, we have to know when to use which article when we speak or write.

Below are some examples where I've used the possessive article:

1. Mein Mann ist nett. ~ My husband is nice. Form used - ich + masculine
   

2. Deine Frau ist klug. ~ Your wife is smart. Form used - du + feminine
   

3. Sein Baby ist schön. ~ His baby is beautiful. Form used - er + neutral
   

4. Unsere Kinder sind jung. ~ Our kids are young. Form used - wir + plural
   

5. Meine Frau liebt ihre Eltern. ~ My wife loves her parents. Form used - ich + feminine Form used - her + plural (since parents is plural)
