Possessive pronouns in the Russian language. Their features, examples of use in sustainable turnover.

The Russian language is rich, expressive and universal. At the same time, it is a very complicated language. That there are only declensions or conjugations! And the diversity of the syntactic system? How to be, for example, an Englishman, accustomed to the fact that in his native language offers have a clear structure? Consider the English phrase "We go to our Museum today". In Russian, this sentence can be translated in different ways:

"We will go to our museum today."
"Today we will go to our museum".
"We'll go to our museum today."
"Today we will go to our museum."

Depending on the order of words, the meaning also changesoffers. In the first case, information is provided on the intention to go to the museum (this is the most neutral option). In the second case, attention is focused on exactly how people will get to the museum (on foot, not on transport). In the third - it is specified that the event will happen just today. And the fourth offer people say that they will go to a particular museum, "our", and not any other. And here it is appropriate to talk about such a part of speech as a pronoun. We will explain further why the possessive pronouns in Russian are needed.

Pronoun

So what is a pronoun? This is an independent part of speech that can replace any other - a noun, an adjective, an adverb and even a numeral. Pronouns include words that do not specifically refer to objects, quantities, signs, but merely point to them. There are the following categories of pronouns:

Personal: I, you, you, we. These parts of speech indicate the persons in question.
Indicative: that, that, that, this, this.
Definitive: all, each, the other.
Negative: no one, nothing.
Uncertain: a few, somehow, some.
Possessive: mine, our, yours, yours.
Returnable: yourself.
Interrogative: who? what? which one? whose?
Relative. They coincide with interrogative, but are used in the role of union words in subordinate clauses.

As we see, the pronoun present in the above translation of the English phrase refers to the attractive pronouns. Let's talk about them.

Possessive pronouns in the Russian language. Examples.

Which pronouns are called possessive?

Possessive pronouns in Russian are playednot the last role. Possessive are those pronouns that indicate the belonging of an object to someone or something. They answer the questions: "Whose?", "Whose?", "Whose?", "Whose?".

We present to you a list of possessive pronouns in the Russian language of those present:

my, my, mine; our, our, our; my, our;
yours, yours, yours; yours, yours, yours; yours, yours;
his her; their.

Sometimes here conditionally include the pronoun "his" as a return-possessive.

Changing possessive pronouns

The above list is not accidentally divided into threelines. So it is possible to find out more quickly how the possessive pronouns in the Russian language change. First, they are transformed by persons: in the first line are the pronouns of the first person, in the second - of the second person, in the third line - of the third person. In the table below, you can see that the possessive pronouns vary by gender (male, female, middle) and numbers (singular and plural).

How do the possessive pronouns in Russian change by case (or declined)? The examples presented below will clarify this issue in as much detail as possible:

Them. (who?): I and my mom went to the zoo today.
The genus. (who?): My mother was not at home today.
Dates. (who?): My mother liked to walk around the zoo.
Vin. (who?): My mother was not scared at the zoo even by a lion.
TV. (by whom?): I am proud of my mother.
Proposal (about whom?): I will tell everyone in the class about my mother.

There are also such modifications:

Them. (what?): I went to school, and now I have my own textbooks.
The genus. n. (what?): While I went to the kindergarten, I did not have my own textbooks.
Dates. n. (to what?): Now I am a schoolgirl and am very happy with my textbooks.
Vin. (what?): I often look at my textbooks, even if I can not read everything.
TV. (how?): I am proud of my textbooks: they are neatly wrapped.
Proposal n. (about what?): I have already buzzed all ears of my mother and father about my textbooks.

Differences

As already mentioned above, possessivepronouns in Russian answer such questions: "Whose?", "Whose?", "Whose?". Thanks to such questions it is easy to distinguish personal pronouns and personal pronouns in the meaning of possessive in Russian. This nuance can be remembered by studying such examples:

I called her on a visit. Called whom? - her. The pronoun is private.
I accidentally noticed her mother on the street. Mom whose? - her. In this case, there is an explicit indication of belonging. That is, we see a possessive pronoun.

There are special features in personal pronouns and in the meaning of possessive when declining. This point is presented in the following examples:

Nominative case (who?): My girlfriend, her sister and their parents were caught in the rain today.
Genitive (of whom?): My girlfriend, her sister and their parents are not at home today.
Datelny (to whom?): My friend and her sister will fly in from their parents today because they left far without warning.
Accusative (of whom?): My friend and her sister were met by their parents and taken home.
Q: I admire my friend and her parents because they like to spend time together.
Proposal (about whom?): Sometimes I tell my grandmother about my girlfriend and her parents.

In the table below, you can see thatPronouns are personal in the meaning of possessive ones, while the possessive ones themselves tend to remain unchanged. So, you already know what are possessive pronouns. In Russian it is an indispensable part of speech.
