Adjective and Possessive Pronouns

Adjective pronouns or sometimes they are called adjective determiners are pronouns that describe belongings. Adjective pronouns in English are my, your, his, her, our, your (plural) and their.
The following instances describe the use of the adjective pronouns:

He's just borrowed my book (bukuku).
I don't need your money (uangmu).
I don't know his name (namanya, nama seorang laki-laki).
I think it is her car (mobilnya, mobil seorang wanita).
Do you think he knows the way to our house? (rumah kita).
Those are your books on the table! (buku kalian).
Their school is located near ours! (sekolah mereka).

Possessive pronouns also describe belongings but they stand there without the nouns. In English, possessive pronouns are mine, yours, his, hers, ours, yours (plural) and theirs.
Here are some examples of the possessive pronouns:

That is my computer. That computer is mine (milikku).
I saw you park your car in the corner over there. Is that car yours over there? (milikmu).
I know he placed his milk in the fridge. That's why I did not take it because I know the milk is his. (milik dia seorang laki-laki).
She's just bought a new car. The shiny car over there, it is hers! (milik dia seorang perempuan).
I love this house. I am going to buy it, soon the house will be ours! (milik kita).
These uniforms, they look like yours! (milik kalian)
I saw a lot of guitars in the hall, perhaps the guitars are theirs. (milik mereka).
