Explanation

euer means your for several people you address informally as ihr. It is the counterpart of dein.

The ending follows the OWNED noun, not the owners. A special spelling rule applies: when an ending is added, euer drops the second e and becomes eur-.

The forms (nominative):

  • masculine: euer - euer Garten (your garden)
  • neuter: euer - euer Haus (your house)
  • feminine: eure - eure Tasche (your bag)
  • : eure - eure Kinder (your children)

Examples:

  • Euer Garten ist schön. - Your garden is beautiful.
  • Eure Wohnung ist groß. - Your flat is big.
  • Eure Freunde sind nett. - Your friends are nice.

Common mistakes:

  • Writing euere instead of eure - the e before the ending drops.
  • masculine adds -en (and still drops the e): Wir sehen euren Garten (We see your garden).
