Possessive adjectives Grammar Exercises for Afrikaans Language
Possessive adjectives in Afrikaans are essential for indicating ownership or relationships between people and things. Much like in English, these adjectives modify nouns to show to whom or what something belongs. In Afrikaans, possessive adjectives must agree in number and gender with the nouns they modify, which can sometimes be a bit tricky for learners to master. Whether you're speaking about "my book" (my boek) or "their house" (hulle huis), understanding the correct usage of these adjectives is crucial for clear and accurate communication.
