To say "my" or "your" in German, use mein, dein (informal), or Ihr (formal). In the nominative case (when the noun is the subject), the possessive ending depends on the noun's gender and number.
Feminine and Plural Nouns
Add an -e for feminine nouns (like die Familie) and plural nouns (like die Eltern), making them meine, deine, or Ihre.
| Here is my family. | Hier ist meine Familie. |
| Is your family big? | Ist deine Familie groß? |
| My parents are old. | Meine Eltern sind alt. |
Masculine Nouns
Masculine nouns (like der Vater) use the base form with no extra ending.
| My father works a lot. | Mein Vater arbeitet sehr viel. |
| Does your brother like to play? | Spielt dein Bruder gern? |
The Formal "Your"
When speaking formally, use Ihr. It follows the exact same ending rules and is always capitalized.
| Where does your father live? | Wo wohnt Ihr Vater? |
| Where are your parents? | Wo sind Ihre Eltern? |
