Possesive pronouns

In a previous lesson, you learned the Lithuanian personal pronouns (aš, tu, jis, ji, mes, jūs, jie, jos).

Now we are going to learn the possesive pronouns.

mano my
tavo your (singular) (use tavo informally: talking to friends and kids)
jo his
jos her
mūsų our
jūsų your (plural) (use jūsų formally: talking to grown-ups and people of authority)
jų their (both male and female)

These pronouns are like the genitive case of aš, tu, jis, ji, mes, jūs, jie, jos, but not entirely.

Now we can combine these pronouns to what we learned in previous lessons.

Mano brolis. (My brother.)
Tavo sesė. (Your sister.)
Jo tėvas. (His father.)

Labas, mano broli. (Hello, my brother).
Sveika, Vytauto sese. (Hello, Vytautas' sister).

Vytautas yra mano brolis. (Vytautas is my brother.)
Milda yra mano sesė. (Milda is my sister.)
Aš nesu jos mama. (I am not her mother.)

Mūsų tėvas eina. (Out father goes.)
Jūsų tėvas kalba. (Your father speaks.)
Jų sūnus Darius nekalba. (Their son Darius doesn't speak.)

Labas, mano vardas Laimis, mano tėvas vardu Vytautas. (Hello, my name is Laimis, my father's name is Vytautas.)
Jūsų sūnaus vardas Darius, jūsų dukros vardas Dalia. (Your son's name is Darius, your daughter's name is Dalia.)

And so on.
