Hello, Stannum and khoff:

If you click on "quote" instead of "reply", you'll see the reason they're called "Colorful Pronouns", although I'm not sure of the point of the post.  Have a nice weekend.

Hi, Rata

I'm glad that you recognize that your green words are, indeed, adjectives and not pronouns.  I know many so-called native-speaking grammarians who call them pronouns, making no distinction between "my" and "mine".

Welcome to the forums.  I hope we'll be able to help you with any problems or questions you might have.
