Possessive adjectives Grammar Exercises for Galician Language
Possessive adjectives in Galician, like in many other languages, are essential for indicating ownership or relationships between people and objects. These adjectives change depending on the noun they modify, aligning with the number (singular or plural) and gender (masculine or feminine) of the noun. Understanding and using possessive adjectives correctly can greatly enhance your fluency and accuracy in Galician, whether you're indicating that something belongs to you, to someone else, or discussing shared possessions.
In Galician, the possessive adjectives include "meu/meus" (my), "teu/teus" (your, singular informal), "seu/seus" (his, her, its, your formal, or their), "nosos/nosas" (our), and "voso/vosa" (your, plural informal). Each adjective must agree with the noun it describes in both number and gender. For example, "o meu libro" (my book) becomes "os meus libros" (my books) when plural. Mastering these forms will enable you to communicate more clearly and precisely, making your Galician language skills more effective and nuanced.
