Teri aur tumhara?
Hi! I am a little confused between the possession of teri or tumhara/i/e. They both seem to mean "your." Which do I use?
Thank you!

The following three forms of possessive pronoun "your" are used in Hindi.
Your = Aapkaa, Aapki, Aapke = used with elders or formal acquaintances.(Respectful/formal)
Your = Tumharaa, Tumhari, Tumhare = Used with equals .(Informal)
Your = Teraa, Teri, Tere = used with children, near and dear ones. (intimate)
I believe, you should use "Aapkaa/i/e with elders and Tumharaa/i/e with friends and other peoples.

teri/a/e is more informal than tumhari/a/e.
Aapki/a/e is formal.

Tumhari and tumhara represents gender of object you talking about,,,, same way for close friends Teri and tera are used,,,,
