Possessive Pronoun
A possessive pronoun is a word used to tell the reader who owns someone or something.
A possessive pronoun is translated as my, your, his, hers, its, our, or their.
I was surprised that possessive pronouns are used only for ownership when the genetive case has so many uses. I wondered if we needed to add more uses. Also English possessive pronouns show up on the pages for both Possessive Pronouns and Personal Pronouns. So I wondered what is the difference between a Personal Pronoun with Genitive case and a Possessive Pronoun. So I looked into it and found this.
Possessive pronouns in Greek can have other cases. (I see different forms of ἐμός 'mine' in BibleHub. https://biblehub.com/greek/1699.htm)
PoSsessive pronoun | First | Singular | Nominative | Plural | Neuter
PoSsessive pronoun | First | Plural | Genitive | Plural | Feminine
PoSsessive pronoun | Second | Singular | Nominative | Plural | Neuter
The OGNT morphology table has no third person Possessive pronouns or 2nd person plural possessive pronouns.
Would it be good to change the list of English translations in the second sentence?
A possessive pronoun is translated into English as my, mine, our, ours, your, or yours.
Weird, I gues they label their as just a personal pronoun. I am good with the change.
Thanks. I changed it.
