In common language the Genitive of the substantival possessive
pronoun is not used. There is another form of a possessive
that could be used (der unsrige, die unsrige, das unsrige),
but it sounds really antiquated. If you want to form
a Genitive of unser
it is mostly done like in English.
| Das
ist der Schlüssel von unserem (Auto
etc.). This is the key to ours. (car etc.) |
|
| Example: die Schachtel (= box) possessed object => feminine, singular |
| Ich sehe
meine, aber unsere nicht. I see mine but not ours. |
|
| Example: das Kleid (= dress) possessed object => neutral, singular |
| Du kannst
mit unserem hingehen. You can go in ours. |
|
| Example: die Häuser (= house) possessed object => neutral, plural |
| Ich sehe
unsere, aber ihre nicht. I see ours but not hers. |
