Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

for example

#

“Vous prenez vos medicaments mais les miens sont tres puissant”

#

how does the second pronoun posssessif be less miens

#

can it be any other ones like les siens?

winged canopy
#

the subject and verb have no bearing on who's doing the possessing

rain drum
winged canopy
#

je prends mes médicamments -> expected
je prends tes médicamments -> might be dangerous and you could be mad
je prends ses médicamments -> might be dangerous and he or she might be mad
etc.

the adjective is fine

#

how about the pronouns

naive anchor
winged canopy
#

le mien -> my one (but representing a masculine noun)
la mienne -> my one (but representing a feminine noun)
les mien -> my ones (but representing a masculine noun)
les miennes -> my ones (but representing a feminine noun)

le sien -> his one (but representing a masculine noun)
la sienne -> his one (but representing a feminine noun)
les siens -> his ones (but representing a masculine noun)
la sienne -> his ones (but representing a feminine noun)

#

again, it's not the subject or verb that changes this, but the meaning that you're seeking to convey

that makes sense
