物主代词代替'物主形容词+名词'。它们独立使用，后面不跟名词。注意：'his'作形容词和代词形式相同。'it'没有物主代词形式。

Los pronombres posesivos reemplazan 'adjetivo posesivo + sustantivo'. Se usan solos sin un sustantivo siguiente. Nota: 'his' es igual como adjetivo y pronombre. No hay pronombre posesivo para 'it'.

所有代名詞は「所有形容詞+名詞」を置き換えます。後に名詞が続かず単独で使います。注意：「his」は形容詞と代名詞で同じ形です。「it」には所有代名詞がありません。

소유대명사는 '소유형용사 + 명사'를 대신합니다. 뒤에 명사 없이 단독으로 사용합니다. 참고: 'his'는 소유형용사와 소유대명사가 같은 형태입니다. 'it'에는 소유대명사가 없습니다.
