Hello my friends, today we will continue learning about the grammar of this amazing language.

Pronouns

              mi(I)
              vi:(you) 
              li: (he)
              ŝi: (she)
              ĝi:(it)
              ni: (we)
              vi: (you in plural)
              ili: (they)

           Some examples:
            1. Mi kaj ŝi lernas (learn)  esperanton.
            2. Li estas forta (strong) knabo.
            3. Ili estas lernantoj(students).

Possessive pronouns

In esperanto to change a regular pronun into a possessive pronoun you just add the letter -a.

              mi(I)-mia(my)
              vi(you)- via(your)
              li(he)-lia(his)
              ŝi(she)-ŝia(her)
              ĝi(it)-ĝi(its)
              ni(we)-nia(our)
              vi(you in plural)-via(your)
              ili(they)-ilia(their)

     Examples:
       1.Mia patro estas juna(young) kaj forta. 
       2.Lia kudo estas maljuno.
