Person-based possessives and agreement

Мој and твој decline exactly alike: мој/моја/моје and твој/твоја/твоје for masculine/feminine/neuter, моји/моје/моја and твоји/твоје/твоја in the plural. Наш and ваш follow the same pattern.

Његов (his/its), њен (her) and њихов (their) also decline like adjectives, agreeing with whatever is possessed: његов ауто, његова кућа, његово село (car/house/village) - the ending tracks the object, never the owner. Њен works the same way for a female possessor: њена кућа, њен ауто, њено писмо.

Addressing formally: ваш and Ваш

Exactly like ви/Ви in personal-pronouns-a1, ваш is capitalized Ваш when it formally addresses one respected person's possession: Ваш пасош, молим. (Your passport, please.) Lowercase ваш addresses more than one person, or one person informally.
