Possessive pronouns in Latvian are used to show who something belongs to. Just like in English, they tell us if something is 'my', 'your', 'his', 'her', 'our', or 'their'. They change based on who owns the object and sometimes the gender and number of the object.
Let's look at each possessive pronoun more closely. 'Mans' means 'my' and is used when something belongs to the person speaking. 'Tavs' means 'your' and is used when something belongs to the person you are talking to. 'Viņa' and 'viņas' mean 'his' and 'her' respectively, showing that something belongs to a male or female person. 'Mūsu' means 'our', 'jūsu' means 'your' when talking to more than one person, and 'viņu' means 'their'.
