Advanced Description
This is is an experimental feature. Please report any issues.The word unser is a possessive pronoun that is used to show that something belongs to a group of people. This group can be any number of people, from just two individuals to an entire community or nation. For example, 'unser Haus' means 'our house', indicating that the speaker and at least one other person own the house together.
In German, the form of unser changes depending on the gender and number of the noun it modifies. For example, 'unser Haus' (our house) becomes 'unsere Häuser' (our houses) when referring to multiple houses. Similarly, 'unser Vater' (our father) becomes 'unsere Väter' (our fathers) when referring to multiple fathers.
It is important to note that unser is only used for possessions that are shared among the group. If something belongs exclusively to one individual within the group, then the possessive pronoun used would be different. For example, 'mein Auto' (my car) would be used instead of 'unser Auto' if only one person owns the car.
