Pwonon ak fòm posesif : I, me, my, mine

Mo sa yo kout, trè souvan, e fasil pou yo fikse mal pou tout tan. Li vo lapenn pou ou aprann tablo a yon fwa pou tout.

Senk kolòn

Sijè	Konplemen	Adjektif posesif	Pwonon posesif	Reflechi
I	me	my	mine	myself
you	you	your	yours	yourself
he	him	his	his	himself
she	her	her	hers	herself
it	it	its	—	itself
we	us	our	ours	ourselves
they	them	their	theirs	themselves

Sijè oswa konplemen ?

Sijè a fè aksyon an, konplemen an resevwa l.

• She called me. (li rele, mwen resevwa)
• We invited them.

❌ Me and John went to the shop. ✅ John and I went to the shop. (nou ale — kidonk sijè)

Erè a soti nan kreyòl, ki gen yon sèl fòm pou sijè ak konplemen (Mwen rele li ak Li rele mwen, Mwen ak Jan te ale nan boutik la) ; an angle, mo a menm chanje, kidonk fòk ou aprann de fòm yo.

Verifikasyon rapid — retire lòt moun nan. Me went klèman pa kòrèk, kidonk fòk I went. Menm verifikasyon an mache nan fen : He invited John and I → He invited I? Non — kidonk John and me.

My oswa mine ?

My ale devan yon non. Mine ranplase tout konbinezon an.

• That is my bag.
• That bag is mine. (pa my)

❌ That is mine bag. ✅ That is my bag.

Pwonon posesif yo reponn kesyon whose :

• Whose coat is this? — It's hers. / Mine.

An kreyòl, adjektif ak pwonon posesif yo vini apre non an (valiz mwen, pa m) ; an angle, adjektif la vini devan non an.

Pwonon reflechi yo : lè se menm moun nan

Fòm ak -self nesesè lè sijè a ak konplemen an se menm bagay.

• I hurt myself. (pa « I hurt me »)
• She taught herself to code.
• Help yourself to coffee.

Kreyòl la sèvi ak tèt mwen (Mwen blese tèt mwen) pou sa, se egzakteman sa myself fè. Men pou aksyon tankou lave oswa leve, kreyòl la pa gen reflechi (Mwen lave, Mwen leve), e angle fè menm bagay : I wash, I get up.

Yo sèvi pou ensiste tou : I made it myself. Epi apa, by myself vle di « tou sèl, san konpayi » — I went by myself.

Apostwòf la

Pou moun yo, nou ajoute 's :

• Anna's car · my brother's house
• Yon pliryèl ki fini deja ak -s : sèlman apostwòf la — the students' results
• Yon pliryèl iregilye : the children's books

Pou objè yo, angle souvan pito of oswa de non youn dèyè lòt :

• ✅ the leg of the table / the table leg
• 🚫 the table's leg (nou konprann, men li sonnen etranj)

Kreyòl la mete posesè a apre sa ki posede a (kay Anna, pye tab la), alòske angle mete l devan (Anna's house) oswa li sèvi ak of.

Nou chwazi posesif la selon posesè a

An kreyòl, li oswa l sèvi pou posesè twazyèm moun nan, kèlkeswa sèks li (paspò li, sè li). An angle, his oswa her chwazi dapre ki moun ki posesè a sèlman, pa janm dapre non ki vini apre a.

• Anna lost her passport. (Anna — kidonk her)
• Tom called his sister. (Tom — kidonk his)

Se isit la moun ki pale kreyòl yo konfonn pi souvan he / she ak his / her : kreyòl la pa fè diferans, kidonk fòk ou mande tèt ou chak fwa si posesè a se yon gason oswa yon fanm.

Its ak it's

Se erè ekriti ki pi souvan an angle, menm pou natif natal.

• its — ki pou li : The dog wagged its tail.
• it's — it is / it has : It's raining.

Its pa pran apostwòf. Si ou ka di « it is », ekri it's ; sinon, its.

Pèlen sa a gen yon vèsyon nan pliryèl :

Mo	Sans	Egzanp
their	ki pou yo	their house
there	la	over there
they're	they are	they're late

Ki sa ki pou ki moun

A: Is this your umbrella?

B: No, mine's the black one. I think it's hers — she left hers by the door.

A: Then whose is this one?

B: Ours, probably. The kids never label anything of theirs.

Chak posesif parèt isit la san non dèyè l — sa vle di tout soti nan kolòn mine / hers / ours / theirs la.
