* In common language
the Genitive of the substantival possessive pronoun is
not used. There is another form of a possessive that
could be used (der deinige, die deinige, das deinige),
but it sounds really antiquated. If you want to form
a Genitive of deine
it is mostly done like in English.
| Das
ist der Schlüssel von deinem (Auto
etc.). This is the key of yours. (car etc.). |
|
The same could be done with a real Genitive and deinige (it's just not used commonly):
| Das
ist der Schlüssel des deinigen. This is the key of yours. |
|
| Example: die Schachtel (= box) possessed object => feminine, singular |
| Ich
sehe meine, aber deine nicht. I see mine but not yours. |
| Example: das Kleid (= dress) possessed object => neutral, singular |
| Du
kannst mit deinem hingehen. You can go with yours. |
| Example: die Häuser (= house) possessed object => neutral, plural |
| Ich
sehe meine, aber deine nicht. I see mine but not yours. |
