Grammar Notes
Like many other European languages, Ukrainian makes a distinction between masculine nouns and feminine nouns. In general, these nouns can be distinguished as follows:
Feminine nouns: All nouns ending with -а or -я
Masculine nouns: All other nouns
The possessive pronoun [your] varies depending on whether it modifies a masculine or a feminine noun.
Твій - masculine [your]
Твоя - feminine [your]
So we say:
Твій тато and Твоя мама for [your father] and [your mother], respectively.
