14 The human body
When it is clear who owns the part of the body mentioned, French tends to use the definite article where English uses a possessive adjective:he raised his hand= il a levé la mainshe closed her eyes= elle a fermé les yeuxshe ran her hand over my forehead= elle a passé la main sur mon frontFor expressions such as he hurt his foot or she hit her head on the beam, where the owner of the body part is the subject of the verb, i.e. the person doing the action, use a reflexive verb in French:she has broken her leg= elle s’est cassé la jambe( literally she has broken to herself the leg - there is no past participle agreement because the preceding reflexive pronoun se is the indirect object).he was rubbing his hands= il se frottait les mainsshe was holding her head= elle se tenait la têteNote also the following:she broke his leg= elle lui a cassé la jambe( literally she broke to him the leg)the stone split his lip= le caillou lui a fendu la lèvre( literally the stone split to him the lip)Describing peopleFor ways of saying how tall someone is ⇒ Length measurement ; of stating someone’s weight ⇒ Weight measurement ; and of talking about the colour of hair and eyes ⇒ Colours.Here are some ways of describing people in French:his hair is long= il a les cheveux longshe has long hair= il a les cheveux longsa boy with long hair= un garçon aux cheveux longsa long-haired boy= un garçon aux cheveux longsthe boy with long hair= le garçon aux cheveux longsher eyes are blue= elle a les yeux bleusshe has blue eyes= elle a les yeux bleusshe is blue-eyed= elle a les yeux bleusthe girl with blue eyes= la fille aux yeux bleusa blue-eyed girl= une fille aux yeux bleushis nose is red= il a le nez rougehe has a red nose= il a le nez rougea man with a red nose= un homme au nez rougea red-nosed man= un homme au nez rougeWhen referring to a temporary state, the following phrases are useful:his leg is broken= il a la jambe casséethe man with the broken leg= l’homme à la jambe casséebut notea man with a broken leg= un homme avec une jambe cassée -
15 Possessive pronouns
↑ PronounПритяжательные местоимения выражают принадлежность существительного и соответствуют личным местоимениям. Притяжательные местоимения в английском языке имеют две формы: одна используется как прилагательное (при существительном), другая - как существительное (независимо).my (1-ое лицо ед.) — мой, моя, мое, моиyour 2-е лицо,ед.) — твой, Ваш и т.д. (ед.ч.)her (3-е лицо ед.) — ееits (3-е лицо ед.) — его, ее (неодуш.)our (1-ое лицо мн. ч.) — наш и т.д.your (2-е лицо мн. ч.) — ваш, Ваш и т.д. (мн.ч.)their (3-е лицо мн. ч.) — ихmine (1-ое лицо ед.) — мой, моя, мое, моиyours 2-е лицо, ед.) — твой, Ваш и т.д. (ед.ч.)hers (3-е лицо ед.) — ееits (3-е лицо ед.) — его, ее (неодуш.)ours (1-ое лицо мн. ч.) — наш и т.д.yours (2-е лицо мн. ч.) — ваш, Ваш и т.д. (мн.ч.)theirs (3-е лицо мн. ч.) — их1) Притяжательные местоимения - прилагательные употребляются в качестве определения при существительном.Притяжательные местоимения - существительные употребляются в функции подлежащего, дополнения или именной части сказуемого (при отсутствии существительного).My
eyes are blue and yours are hazel — У меня глаза голубые, а у тебя - карие.At the same time, his own fears of abandonment are if anything greater than hers — В то же время он боится быть покинутым, во всяком случае, больше, чем она.
2) Наличие при существительном притяжательного местоимения делает такое существительное определенным и при этом исключает возможность употребления при нем артиклей и других местоимений. Если необходимо выразить неопределенность существительного или употребить другое местоимение или прилагательное одновременно с притяжательным, для выражения притяжательности используется конструкция of + притяж. мест. - сущ.:You have been a shipboard acquaintance of mine for a few hours — Мы с Вами познакомились и общались в течение нескольких часов на корабле.
My problems are no business of yours — Мои проблемы Вас не касаются.
3) В целом в английском языке притяжательные местоимения используются чаще, чем в русском. В частности, притяжательные местоимения обычно используются, когда речь идет о частях тела человека и иных предметах, тесно связанных с другим предметом.The table was set on its legs — Стол был поставлен на ( свои) ножки
•— Употребление притяжательных местоимений в качестве подлежащего герундия после глагола см. Verb + ing-form, 3.

16 Possessive case
Притяжательный падеж↑ Case1) Существительное в притяжательном падеже служит определением к другому существительному. Форма притяжательного падежа образуется так:а) к существительным во множественном числе, оканчивающимся на -s, прибавляется окончание ' (апостроф);в) Если имя собственное оканчивается на -s, возможны два варианта окончания притяжательного падежа: 's и ' (но форма на 's более распространена):2) Употребление притяжательного падежа:Как правило, притяжательный падеж образуется от одушевленных существительных (обозначающих людей и зверей), а также от существительных, подразумевающих группы и объединения людей, таких как government, company, в том числе от существительных world, country, city и названий стран и городов. В притяжательном падеже также может стоять распространенная именная группа: Peter and Jane's house - дом Питера и ДжейнВ качестве основного слова в конструкции с существительным в притяжательном падеже обычно выступает существительное, обозначающее предмет, который используется, производится или является предметом обладания субъекта, выраженного именем в притяжательном падеже.В частности, конструкция с притяжательным падежом используется:а) при обозначении принадлежности частей тела человека или животных:б) для обозначения предметов, используемых человеком или животными:в) для обозначения продуктов, получаемых от (живых) животных:(Но: calf skin — телячья шкура (взятая от мертвого животного))

5) В английском языке возможно также употребление существительного в притяжательном падеже после предлога of:a novel of Somerset Maugham's — роман Сомерсета Моэма.
6) Существительное в притяжательном падеже может употребляться независимо (без основного слова) в случае, если речь идет о месте (название места подразумевается):at the butcher's (shop) — у мясника, в лавке мясника

[ðeəz]my car is red but theirs is blue — la mia macchina è rossa, ma la loro è blu
••I saw them with that dog of theirs — spreg. li ho visti con il loro cagnaccio
Note:Although in Italian possessives, like most other adjectives, agree in gender and number with the noun they qualify, not as in English with the possessor they refer to, theirs is always translated by loro; however, since Italian possessives, unlike English ones, are normally preceded by an article, the article - if not the possessive loro - will have to agree with the noun. So theirs is translated by il loro, la loro, i loro, le loro, according to what is being referred to: our boss and theirs = il nostro capo e il loro; this room is theirs = questa stanza è la loro; our children are younger than theirs = i nostri bambini sono più giovani dei loro; your shoes are brown, while theirs are black = le vostre scarpe sono marroni, mentre le loro sono nere. - Since Italian possessive adjectives, unlike English ones, may be preceded by an article, a demonstrative adjective or a numeral, an English possessive pronoun is often translated by an Italian possessive adjective: a cousin of theirs = un loro cugino; that school friend of theirs = quel loro compagno di scuola; four books of theirs = quattro loro libri. - For examples and particular usages, see the entry below* * *[ðeəz]pronoun (a person, thing etc belonging to them: The child is theirs; a friend of theirs (= one of their friends).) il/la loro, i/le loro* * *[ðeəz]my car is red but theirs is blue — la mia macchina è rossa, ma la loro è blu
