Tvoy

Tvoy is the standard transliteration in Latin script of the Russian possessive determiner твой, meaning "your" when addressing the second person singular. It is used before a noun to indicate ownership by the person being spoken to and it agrees with the noun in gender and number. In the nominative case the common forms are твой (masculine), твоя (feminine), твоё (neuter), and твои (plural). Like other adjectives, твой declines across cases and numbers to match the noun it modifies.

In transliteration and language reference, tvoy appears in dictionaries, grammar guides, and language-learning materials that render Cyrillic Russian in Latin letters. It is not a separate word in English, but a way to represent the Russian form in non-Cyrillic text. An example would be: Это твой дом → Eto tvoy dom ("This is your house"). The choice of transliteration can vary (for example, tvoi is another common rendering), but tvoy is widely understood in linguistic contexts.

The term is distinct from the reflexive possessive свой (svoi), which means "one's own" or "one's," used to indicate the subject’s own relationship to the noun rather than the addressee’s. Tvoy thus functions as a straightforward second-person possessive determiner in Russian grammar and in transliterated texts.
