Pronunciation

• (Balearic) IPA^(key): /ˈvɔs.tɾə/
• (Central) IPA^(key): /ˈbɔs.tɾə/
• (Valencian) IPA^(key): /ˈvɔs.tɾe/

Determiner

vostre m or f (plural vostres)

1. (archaic, dialectal) your (plural)

Usage notes

The use of vostre and the other possessive determiners is mostly archaic in the majority of dialects, with articulated possessive pronouns (e.g. el meu) mostly being used in their stead. However, mon, ton, and son are still widely used before certain nouns referring to family members and some affective nouns, such as amic, casa, and vida. Which nouns actually find use with the possessive determiners depends greatly on the locale.

Pronoun

vostre m or f (plural vostres)

1. your, yours (plural)

Usage notes

When preceding a noun, the pronoun vostre is always preceded by the appropriate definite article.
