CEFR StudyA1 German

unser, euer, Ihr

unser, euer, Ihr

The plural owners:

  • wir → unser
  • ihr → euer
  • sie (they) → ihr — spelled like “her”; the context shows which
  • Sie → Ihr (capital I, formal)

euer has a quirk: before an ending it drops its middle e — eure Mutter. The long form “euere” exists but is rare: write eure.

Tip

euer + e = eure. The middle e jumps out: eure Kinder, eure Oma.
