"Where are your notebooks?"

Translation: Где ваши тетради?

[Talosos]

I don't understand when твоё and when ваши should be used

[RhiaLirin]

Твоё is informal. You can say to a friend or family member. Ваши is formal. You say this to strangers, or highly respected individuals.

[Dimitrie_Grinwis]

Твоё is informal singular neuter.
Ваши is plural (the objects that are yours) when in English you would use singular 'your' in formal occasions (or 'thine' in outdated speak) or plural 'your' (when speaking to several people).

[Anthony13x]

Thanks. I found that most informative.

[ashalota]

I used твоё and it marked typo and suggested ваш.. It should have marked me as wrong

[Dimitrie_Grinwis]

It could have been a typo, if you intended to write твои. Sometimes it is difficult for the algorithms to distinguish between a typo and a wrong answer.

[ptoro]

I was marked correct using the masculine singular form of "your", is that right?
"Где твой тетради?" Should I report this for accepting an incorrect answer?

[RhiaLirin]

That is wrong. The equivalent of saying "Where is your books?" Instead of Where ARE your books.

[shaunsmile]

in gave me that option as a multiple choice, I selected it and got it wrong. I see now that the last letter is technically different, but didn't notice. So, it looks like they used your sentence to trip me up!

[CaioFranca2]

Can ваш be used as a formal singular "your"?

[gelfo]

Yes. That's correct it goes with the pronoun Bbl, which is formal you

[Litchic22]

Could you use 'где ваша тетради' as a formal singular?

[Berniebud]

No. Possessive pronouns agree with the noun that's being possessed, not the ones possessing it.

E.g. a single notebook would be "Ваша тетрадь", regardless of how many people own the notebook.

[gelfo]

Ah sugar. I write notebook as in a laptop

[NabillaNyan]

What is the difference between ваши and ваше?

[IanRT1]

ваши is used for plural nouns and ваше is used for neuter nouns

[teddy1368]

Okay so I get that твоё is for informal use and ваши is formal, but what about тебя? Is it just another form of твоё?

[gelfo]

твоё is 'your' (neutral).
тебя is 'you' in the genitive case.

[na.di.a]

Isn't ваши used for more than one person?

[TheMilesto1]

How would i know in this exercise if i use the formal or the informal?

[Dimitrie_Grinwis]

You won't. Both should be correct.

[JohnKovacs2]

In this sentance are they referring to several Notebooks for one person or like a teacher asking a class "your notebooks class" vs an idividuals notebooks(more then one type deal)

[RosamundHo]

I cannot write in Russian.
