Possessivartikel (Possessive Determiners)

A Possessivartikel indicates who something belongs to; you can think of it like 'my, your, his/her' in English, but in German the possessive determiner changes according to BOTH the person of the owner (my/your/his) AND the gender of the item owned — meaning it conveys two different pieces of information at the same time.
