POSSESSIVE ADJECTIVES AND PRONOUNS

Adjectives and pronouns have the same form in Aragonese. Possessive adjectives are to be preceeded by the agreeable definite article.

Possessive adjectives in Aragonese agree with the thing possessed in gender and number and with the possessor in person. Possessive pronouns are used to replace possessive adjectives plus nouns.

Possessive adjectives can be placed in front of the noun or after it.

FORMS:
 

	Singular	Plural
1st person	(o) mío, (a) mía (os) míos, (as) mías	(o) nuestro, (a) nuestra (os) nuestros, (as) nuestras
2nd person	(o) tuyo, (a) tuya (os) tuyos, (as) tuyas	(o) buestro, (a) buestra (os) buestros, (as) buestras
3rd person	(o) suyo, (a) suya (os) suyos, (as) suyas	(o) suyo, (a) suya (os) suyos, (as) suyas

Examples:
o fillo mío / o mío fillo (my son)
o libro ye tuyo (the book is yours)
Ista ye a mía cambra; ixa ye a buestra (This is my room; that is yours)
Quí ye o pai de Chuan? Ixe ye o suyo pai (Who is John's father? That is his father)
Yo estié en o suyo chardín (I was in his / her / its / their garden)

There exists another possible form of the possessives which is realized by placing the preposition de (of) in fron of the corresponding personal pronoun. It is especially used in the third person, singular and plural, in order to avoid confusion and distinguish gender and number.

Examples:
o mío libro = o libro de yo (my book)
os diners d'ellos = os suyos diners (their money -masculine possessors)
l'auto d'ella = o suyo auto (her car)
