*In Ukrainian, pronouns have different conjugations when relating to gender:

- “her”: yiyi , his: yogo , its: yogo / he: vin , she: v ona , it: v ono , they: v ony

- “my”: miy (male), moya (female), moye (neutral), moi (plural)

- “their ”: yikh (same for male, female, formal, informal, and neutral)

- “your”: tviy (male), tvoya (female), tvoye (neutral), yikh (plural)

- “your” (singular formal or plural): vash (male), vasha (fem), vashe (neuter), vashi (plural)

- “our”: nash (male), nasha (female), nashe (neutral), nashi (plural)

Note: Moikh is the genitive as well as plural accusative form of the pronoun “my.” This program doesn’t address the nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, instrumental, and prepositional cases since, as previously stated, this isn’t a grammar book.
