Chapter 16: Possessive Pronouns

  16.3.5 declension of euer (2nd person plural)

Possessive pronouns
    German English
    feminine masculine neutral  
  Nominative eure eurer eures yours
  Genitive not used * not used * not used * of yours
  Dative eurer eurem eurem to yours
  Accusative eure euren eures yours

* 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 eurige, die eurige, das eurige), but it sounds really antiquated. If you want to form a Genitive of eure it is mostly done like in English.

Das ist der Schlüssel von eurem (Auto etc.).
This is the key to yours. (car etc.)

   Example: die Schachtel (= box) possessed object => feminine, singular
Ich sehe eure, aber unsere nicht.
I see yours but not ours.

  Example: das Kleid (= dress) possessed object => neutral, singular
Du kannst mit eurem hingehen.
You can go with yours.

  Example: die Häuser (= house) possessed object => neutral, plural
Ich sehe eure, aber ihre nicht.
I see yours but not hers.
