MY ITEM AND YOUR ITEM - see also Possessive 02 and Possessive 03
There are several ways of saying 'belonging to' in French. The one people usually learn first, is the 'mon', 'ma', 'mes' variety, as shown below.
Note that a feminine singular word starting with a vowel takes 'mon' not 'ma' (same for 'ton' and 'son').
