POSSESSIVE PRONOUNS

Possesive Pronouns İyelik zamirleri, cümlede iyelik sıfatı ile beraber kullanılan ismin yerine geçer. En dikkat çekici özelliği cümlede hem sıfatın hem de ismin kaldırılıp “ iyelik zamirinin ” yazılmasıdır.Cümle içerisinde zamir olarak kullanılsa da aitlik, sahiplik, anlamı verir. Yani Türkçe'deki '' benimki, seninki, onunki, bizimki, sizinki, onlarınki '' anlamını katar.Cümlenin başında ya da sonunda yer alabilir. Örnek / Example :  This is my car. ( Bu, benim arabam. )             This is mine.  ( Bu, benimkidir. ) This is your bike. ( Bu, senin bisikletin. )         This is yours. ( Bu, seninkidir. ) This bag isn’t her bag.                                    This isn't hers. ( Bu, onunki değildir. ) ( Bu çanta onun çantası değil. )
