آپ کا / تمہارا / تیرا

Saying Your

Level 1

Choose the address form first, then match its ending to the thing possessed.

How It Works

With respect, say آپ کی کتاب کہاں ہے؟. The feminine noun کتاب chooses کی inside آپ کی.

With familiar تم, تمہارا قلم uses the masculine singular form. The owner is the listener; the pen controls the ending.

تیرا is marked and context-dependent. A learner should not use it with an unfamiliar person just because the noun is singular.

Masculine plural possessions use the e ending: آپ کے جوتے and تمہارے جوتے. The address level and the possessed noun each contribute information.

آپ کی کتاب کہاں ہے؟
Where is your book?
Respectful آپ combines with feminine کتاب.
تمہارا قلم کہاں ہے؟
Where is your pen?
Familiar تم combines with masculine قلم.
آپ کے جوتے باہر ہیں۔
Your shoes are outside.
Respectful آپ combines with masculine plural جوتے.
تمہاری چابی یہاں ہے۔
Your key is here.
Familiar تم combines with feminine چابی.
