Possessives: my vs mine gebruik

Besitlike vorme help ons om te sê aan wie iets behoort. Hierdie onderwerp vergelyk twee soortgelyke groepe: besitlike bepalers voor ’n selfstandige naamwoord en besitlike voornaamwoorde, wat die hele naamwoordfrase vervang.

This is my phone.
Hierdie is my foon.
This phone is mine.
Hierdie foon is myne.
Is it your bag? Is it yours?
Is dit jou sak? Is dit joune?
Her book is old. Hers is old.
Haar boek is oud. Hare is oud.

Possessives: my vs mine Vorm

’n Besitlike bepaler kom altyd voor ’n selfstandige naamwoord: my kar, hulle huis. ’n Besitlike voornaamwoord staan alleen en vervang bepaler + selfstandige naamwoord: myne = my kar, hulle s’n = hulle huis.

Possessives: my vs mine Reël

  • Gebruik besitlike bepalers voor ’n selfstandige naamwoord om te wys aan wie iets behoort.

    possessive determiner + noun

    This is my phone.
    Hierdie is my foon.
    He is in his room.
    Hy is in sy kamer.
    Children brushed their teeth and went to bed.
    Kinders het hul tande geborsel en bed toe gegaan.
  • Moenie 'n / die voor ’n besitlike bepaler gebruik nie. Die besitlike bepaler identifiseer die selfstandige naamwoord reeds.
    ✅ Is this your hat?
    ❌ Is this the your hat?
  • Gebruik besitlike voornaamwoorde wanneer die selfstandige naamwoord reeds duidelik is en jy dit nie hoef te herhaal nie.

    possessive determiner + noun → possessive pronoun

    My charger is black. Mine is black.
    My laaier is swart. Myne is swart.
    Her book is old. Hers is old.
    Haar boek is oud. Hare is oud.
    I cannot find their house. I cannot find theirs.
    Ek kan nie hulle huis kry nie. Ek kan nie hulle s'n kry nie.

    Is dit sy baadjie? Ja, dit is syne.
    Is this her jacket? Yes, it is hers.
    Is dit haar baadjie? Ja, dit is hare.
