Possessive Pronouns in Hebrew grammar denote ownership or possession. Unlike English, possessive pronouns in Hebrew are directly attached to the noun they modify in the form of suffixes. Each pronoun form varies depending on both the gender and the number of the noun it’s attached to, as well as on the person (first, second, or third) of the pronoun itself. This implies that ‘my book’, ‘his house’, ‘their dog’, for instance, would all require different pronoun attachments in Hebrew.
