(जब हमें बताना हो कि कोई चीज़ किसकी है, तो हम Possessive Noun का प्रयोग करते हैं।)

1. Singular Nouns (Add 's)

If the noun is singular (one person), add an apostrophe and s ('s).

Rahul's car.	राहुल की गाड़ी।
My mom's phone.	मेरी माँ का फोन।

2. Plural Nouns ending in "s" (Add only ')

If the noun is plural and already ends in "s", just add an apostrophe (') at the end. Do NOT add another 's'.
