Wird für die 2. Person Plural verwendet, steht vor Nomen und passt sich an Geschlecht, Zahl und Fall an; die Form „eure“ erscheint bei femininem Nominativ und Akkusativ sowie bei Pluralformen.

Word origin

Eure is an inflected form of the possessive determiner euer, which derives from the second-person plural pronoun ihr and older iuwer.

Usage tips

  • Unlike English "your," German possessive determiners take endings, so eure changes to euer, euren, eurer, or eurem according to gender, number, and case.
