mine

The word 'mein' in German is a possessive pronoun, used to indicate ownership or possession. It is equivalent to the English word 'mine'. However, unlike English, German has different forms of the possessive pronoun depending on the gender, number, and case of the noun it is modifying. 'Mein' is used when the noun is masculine and singular in the nominative or accusative case.
