Twoje

Twoje is a Polish possessive determiner that translates to "your" in English. It is used before a noun to indicate possession by the person or people being addressed and agrees with the noun in gender and number.

In the standard Polish possessive paradigm, twoje is the form used for several contexts in the second-person possessive on the noun side. The form changes to reflect the gender and number of the noun it modifies: for example, twoja is used with feminine singular nouns, twoje with neuter singular nouns, and twoi is used with masculine personal plural nouns. For most feminine, neuter, and non-personal plural nouns, the form twoje is applied in plural contexts, whereas masculine personal plural nouns take twoi (e.g., twoi koledzy).

Examples include twoje auto (your car), twoje książki (your books), twoi znajomi (your male friends), and twoje dzieci (your children). These illustrate how twoje accompanies nouns of different genders and numbers while remaining a second-person possessive tied to the addressee.

Usage notes: twoje is typically used in informal, singular-address situations. In formal contexts or when addressing groups, other possessive forms may be preferred, corresponding to different second-person pronouns or politeness levels in Polish.

Etymology and related forms: twoje derives from the Polish root for the second-person possessive, related to other forms such as mój/moje/moja (my) and twój/twoja/twoje (your, informal). It is part of the broader system of Polish possessive adjectives and pronouns.
