Possessive pronouns - Предло'жный/Роди'тельный

EDIT: Sorry about the repost, but I misspelled something in the title last time around - linky goodness. I try to avoid messing the titles up since I can't edit them, but there we go. Now everything is back in order.

Предло́жный/Роди́тельный

So, now we know 3 cases:

Имени́тельный

Роди́тельный

Предло́жный

So, we've made it halfway! And after this, a lot of things overlap... which you can either look at as an advantage - you already know it but in a different context - or a disadvantage: it can be confusing if you go through it too quickly - it's easy to underestimate it. But that's beside the point:

---

• The point, ladies and gentlemen, is that we only know the possessive pronouns(my, your, our) for one case: the nominative.

English	M	F	N	Pl
My	Мой	Моя́	Моё	Мои́
Your	Твой	Твоя́	Твоё	Твои́
Our	Наш	На́ша	На́ше	На́ши
Your(pl)	Ваш	Ва́ша	Ва́ше	Ва́ши

• But, when we want to say, for instance, "my mother's car", in Russian(and in other languages too, don't complain) we have to change 'my' into роди́тельный too. In this case, it helps to think of it in the form of "the car of my mother" when dealing with possession in Russian. Anything after the "of" should then be in the genitive case.

• This is not as big of a deal as it sounds. (It's all going to be ok)

• I hope it won't be too much of info at once if we go through the род. and the прeд.

Родительный

Имен|Мой/Моё|Моя́|Мои́|Наш/На́ше|На́ша|На́ши :---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---: Род.|Моего́|Мое́й|Мои́х|На́шего|На́шей|На́ших

• So, first of all, note that the n/m versions are the same - мое́го/наше́го

• It can be condensed to this:

M/N	F	Pl
-его	-ей	-их

• Last thing to note: -его is pronounced evo

• So, let's try it out:

My mother's car:

Маши́на мое́й ма́тери

To make it "your/our/etc" -> твое́й/вашей, it's pretty logical.

Предложный Падеж

Имен|Мой/Моё|Моя́|Мои́|Наш/На́ше|На́ша|На́ши :---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---:|:---: Пред.|Моём|Мое́й|Мои́х|На́шем|На́шей|На́ших

M/N	F	Pl
-ём	-ей	-их

For the prepositional, it's the same idea.

We're talking about my friends

Мы говори́м о мои́х друзья́х

Again, try it out - it's not that difficult - and if you're ever not sure, you can always come back here to check!
