Possessive Adjective






Some languages have neither possessive adjectives nor Possessive Pronoun s, and express Possession by declining the Personal Pronoun s in the Genitive or Possessive Case , or by using Possessive Suffix es. In Finnish, for example, ''minun'' ("I's"), means "my" or "mine".

Like Possessive Pronoun s, possessive adjectives can prevent repetitions in a sentence by substituting a noun phrase with ''-'s''. For example, they allow us to say "Sally took off her glasses" instead of "Sally took off Sally's glasses".
