[timid wolf]

son/sa/ses are all his/hers

[steel walrus]

do you know

mon ma mes
ton ta tes?

[timid wolf]

but son is for masc objs

sa for fem objs

ses for pplural objs no matter what

[steel walrus]

bon you are too fast

[timid wolf]

deso

[scenic solstice]

Mine, mine (feminine) Mine (plural)
mon ma mes

[timid wolf]

also son for vowel fem

son amiE

[steel walrus]

aucun problème

[timid wolf]

yes sa is just fem his/her

[steel walrus]

son sa ses is for the 3rd person

his/hers/their

[scenic solstice]

ses amis

son amis

sa amis?

[timid wolf]

son ami!

[steel walrus]

ses amis
son ami

[timid wolf]

X

because it starts with a vowel

his/her friend (f) is SON AMIE

so

son ami
son amie
seS amiS
seS amieS

when to use sa would be like sa voiture - cuz voiture is feminine

does this help

[scenic solstice]

i'm trying to understand, im kinda new to the french language

[timid wolf]

ok lets take a step back

you know mon ma mes right

[scenic solstice]

i think i do

[timid wolf]

ok

son/sa/ses is his/her in the same context

son (M)
sa (F)
ses (Plural)

[scenic solstice]

like ma amie?

[timid wolf]

in the french language

i must tell you now

is they dont like vowels touching

so ma amie does not slide with them

so it has to be moN Amie

even if it is feminine

but in any other femiine word that isn't a vowel

like voiture (car)

it would be mA/tA/sA

[scenic solstice]

so if a word finishes with E, that word is feminine

[timid wolf]

not 100%

this is very off topic

[steel walrus]

do you understand the

mon ma mes
ton ta tes
son sa ses

now?

[scenic solstice]

i think i got it

[timid wolf]

the only exception to this rule is with feminine

if the word STARTS with a vowel

like amie

it takes masculine

that is why mA Amie isn't valid

but rather moN Amie

so in any other case of feminine things

that doesnt start with vowel is ma

like ma voituire, ma mère

ma maison

french is a hard language, you will get there step by step okay?

bon courage!

[scenic solstice]

merci mon amie

:D
