First- and second-person possessives in the accusative (meinen, deinen, Ihren)

When a noun is the direct object of a sentence—the person or thing being met, visited, or planned—it takes the accusative case.

For feminine, neuter, and plural nouns, your possessives (mein, dein, Ihr) and their endings stay exactly the same as they do in the subject (nominative) case.

However, for masculine nouns, the possessive ending changes.

Masculine Accusative: meinen, deinen, Ihren

When a masculine noun (like der Partner or der Termin) is the direct object, you must add -en to the possessive.

• mein becomes meinen
• dein becomes deinen (informal)
• Ihr becomes Ihren (formal)

Mixing Genders

Notice how only the masculine nouns take the -en ending in the accusative case, while feminine nouns keep their standard -e ending (like deine Partnerin).
