Thread: Possives with plurals...

Ok.

We have the possesive for I - my, and the masc, fem and neuter.

мой моя моё (cant put accents on)

Now I read somewhere that the plural for this is мои - is this correct?

If it is how would this work? Say for example I was wanting to put this.

I am talking about my Wives. (I realise you normally have 1!!!)

Я говарю о мои жены - Is this line correct? I am a little confused.

Andrew

No, because мои жены is nom case, but the preposition 'o' takes the prep case, in this case you'd need the prep pl:

Я говорю о моих женах

Oh, I'm getting ahead of myself. I have not even seen that yet! Thanks for the reply.

Andy

My wife - Моя жена (fem.)
My wives - Мои жены (plu.)

My son - Мой сын (masc.)
My sons - Мои сыны (plu.)

My window - Моё окно (neut.)
My windows - Мои окна (plu.)

In the plural there is no distinction between the genders.

Мои сыновья.
well, you can find "сыны" in particularly high-style speech ("Сыны Отчизны,...") but that's about it.

Oh, this is good. When I screw up on my grammar they will just think that I am High Brow and sofisticated.!!!
