The table below shows the same forms, but the rows and columns that have repeated forms have been collapsed.

The owner in Polish is	English Possessive Pronoun	The owned object in Polish is
		singular		plural
		masculine or neuter	feminine	any gender
singular first person	my	moim	moją	moimi
singular second person	your (singular)	twoim	twoją	twoimi
singular third person masculine or neuter	his, its	jego
singular third person feminine	her, its	jej
plural first person	our	naszym	naszą	naszymi
plural second person	your (plural)	waszym	waszą	waszymi
plural third person	their	ich

Notice that the singular third person has more than one English translation. Why? Because we use his and her for objects too. In Polish language every noun has a gender and this gender doesn't match the English gender. For example książka(book) is feminine, so we will say her instead of its. Compare the English and Polish possessive pronouns in the sentences below:

Examples

Widzę zieloną hulajnogę. Za jej tylnim kołem leży kot.	I see a green scooter. Behind its rear wheel lies a cat.
To hulajnoga Magdy. Za jej hulajnogą leży kot.	This is Magda's scooter. Behind her scooter lies a cat.

Widzę stary dom. Przed jego wejściem leży kot.	I see an old house. In front of its entrance lies a cat.
To dom Michała. Przed jego domem leży kot.	This is Michał's house. In front of his house lies a cat.

Alternative forms

There are also alternative forms of my and your (singular) possessive pronouns. They are used rather in poetry than in everyday speech. You can create them by

oj
, for example moją becomes mą
replacing
oi ➜ y
, for example twoimi becomes twymi
