The possessive pronouns in Latin
are declined and used like the adjectives of the I-II declensions.They
have the following forms:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
meus, mea, meum my (mine) | noster, nostra, nostrum our (ours) | |
|
|
tuus, tua, tuum thy (thine) | vester, vestra, vestrum your (yours) | |
|
|
suus, sua, suum his, her (hers), its | suus, sua, suum their (theirs) |
Sometimes the possessive pronouns
are strenghtened by the addition of the particles –pte and –met,
cf.
meapte,
tuopte,
tuismet.
Note:
The vocative of meus is mi, cf. mi fili oh, my son.
