Possessive pronouns in Slovenian grammar refer to the words which show ownership of something. They are therefore necessary for discussing anything that someone owns or belongs to someone. They help to establish clarity in sentences by eliminating the repetition of the noun. Like in English, possessive pronouns in Slovenian replace the noun. For example, instead of saying “This is John’s book”, you would say “This is his book”. As you learn Slovenian, getting acquainted with possessive pronouns is a necessary step to increasing your fluency.
