    How do I say the word "your" in French?
    Community Answer
    For feminine nouns use the word "ta" for masculine use "ton" and for multiple items use "tes." Examples: Your dress. Dress in french is "robe," which is feminine so you would use "ta." Ta robe. Your cat. Cat in French is "chat," and it is masculine so you would use "ton." Ton chat. Your books. Whether books ("livres in French) is feminine or masculine doesn't matter here. You would use "tes" because it is plural. Tes livres.
