POSSESSIVES \"of\" or \"\'s\" - Possessive \"of\" or \"\'s\" is של (shel).

[b]האח של יורם [/b) Haach shel Yoram. (Yoram\'s brother)
[b]הסלולרי של מייק [/b] Hacelulari shel Mike. (Mike\'s cell-phone)

Notice that the thing possessed comes first!!!

[b]Possessive \"my, your,etc...\"[/b]

*These possessives follow the noun.
*ה is added to the first noun, because for instance \"my dog\" means \"the dog of mine.\"
הכלב שלי - hakelev shelli (my dog)

The full list is below:

שלי : shelli (my)
שלך : shelcha (your-masculine singular)
שלך : shelach (your-feminine singular)
שלו : shelo (his)
שלה : shela (her)
שלנו : shelanu (our)
שלכם : shelachem (your-masculine plural)
שלכן : shelachen (your-feminine plural)
שלהם : shelahem (their-masculine plural)
שלהן : shelahen (their-feminine plural)

של מי / whose - [i]*listening to Eyal Golan \"Yafa Shelli\"*[/i] :D

Ok... Now we get to combine demonstratives that we have learned \"ze/zot/ele\" with possessives. We\'ll learn to ask \"Whose ... is this/are these?\"

The question structure is as follows:

של מי + noun + demonstrative

**DO NOT forget to put \"ה\" (the)in the beginning of your noun and the demonstrative!

[b]ledugma:[/b]
של מי המחברת הזאת? (Shel mi hamachberet hazot?)
-Whose notebook is this?

NOTE that since machberet is a feminine noun we use zot!!!

And the answer...
המחברת הזאת של מיכאל (Hamachberet hazot shel Michael.)
-This notebook is Michael\'s.

Two more examples:

של מי המילון הזה?
המילון הזה של יצחק.
(Shel mi hamilon haze? / Hamilon haze shel Itzchak.)

של מי המשקפים האלה?
המשקפים האלה של נטלי.
(Shel mi hamishkafayim haele? / hamishkafayim haele shel Natali.)

להתראות :)
