"Это твой фильм?"

Translation: Is this your movie?

[flint72]

In Russian does this mean "your" in the sense or ownership (do you own the rights, I suppose) or does it mean 'the film that you star in' ?

In English both of these would be phrased "your film/ play/ etc."

Thanks.

[deactivated user]

In Russian, it can mean both too.

What is the difference between это and этот? And are they used for both neutral and masculine in the nominative case?

Why not vashe

[Theron126]

"Ваше" is neuter gender. "Ваш" should be accepted.

[Song-of-Sunlight]

Is the gender of "your" in sentences like this determined by the gender of the noun or the person being addressed?

[RichardKeo2]

For this purpose think of "your" as an adjective, modifying the next word. It must agree in grammatical gender with that word.

[MinaNelly]

Фильм is masculine. Why use зто instead of зтот?

[Kundoo]

Because "это" refers to "it", which in Russian is omitted but still has a sort of implied presence. Such "it" is always in the neuter gender.
