Possessivpronomen (meiner, deiner: mine, yours)
'Whose is this?' – 'Mine.' Short answers like this are very common in everyday life. In German, the possessive determiner (mein, dein) comes before a noun ('mein Stift'); when used on its own without a noun, it takes an ending and becomes a possessive pronoun (Possessivpronomen): 'Das ist meiner.' (That's mine.)
