Feb 12, 2018 at 15:12 comment added Luis Mendo @Giuseppe "Thy/your" are possessive determiners, that is, they go with a name: "This is your car". "Thine/yours" are possessive pronouns, that is, the name is omitted: "This is yours". And I initially confused "thy" with a personal pronoun, which would actually be "thou". What a mess I've made :-)
Feb 12, 2018 at 15:03 comment added Giuseppe Well, I always learned "thy/your" as possessive pronouns; this is my first time hearing of a determiner!
Feb 10, 2018 at 10:04 comment added Luis Mendo @Giuseppe I just realised it’s a determiner, not a pronoun :-/
