your (belonging to you all)

The mistake English speakers make

English speakers often confuse 'euer' with 'eure' or use 'euer' for singular 'your'. Remember: 'euer' is only for plural 'you' (you all). For singular informal 'your', use 'dein'.

Don’t confuse it with

dein — Dein is singular informal 'your' (one person), while euer is plural informal 'your' (more than one person).
Ihr — Ihr (capitalized) is the formal 'your' for one or more people, used with Sie, while euer is informal plural.

Questions learners ask

When do I use euer vs eure?

Use euer before masculine and neuter nouns in the nominative case, and before neuter nouns in the accusative case (no ending): euer Vater, euer Kind. Use eure before feminine and plural nouns, and before masculine/neuter nouns when an ending is added: eure Mutter, euren Vater.

Is euer formal or informal?

Euer is informal. It is used when speaking to more than one person you know well, like friends or family. For formal situations, use Ihr (with a capital I).

Why does euer sometimes become eure?

When an ending is added to euer, the 'e' before 'r' is dropped to make pronunciation easier. So euer + e becomes eure, euer + en becomes euren, etc.
