Notes
GENERAL INFO
Votre means "your." It is a possessive adjective used with singular nouns. It corresponds to the formal "you" (vous) or the plural "you" (vous).
USAGE
It always precedes a singular noun, regardless of the gender of the noun.
Examples: Votre livre (Your book), Votre maison (Your house).
It signifies something belonging to "you" (one person, formally) or "you all/y'all."
TRAPS
Do not confuse votre (singular possessed item) with vos (plural possessed items).
For example: votre voiture (your car), but vos voitures (your cars).
Also, distinguish it from the possessive pronoun "vôtre" (yours).
C'est le vôtre (It is yours).
