Nôtre vs. Notre
Don't confuse nôtre (with a circumflex) with notre (without one). Notre means 'our' as a possessive adjective, like in 'notre maison' (our house). Nôtre is a possessive pronoun meaning 'ours'.
Agreement with Gender and Number
Like all French possessive pronouns, nôtre agrees in gender and number with the noun it replaces. For example, if you're talking about 'our car' (la voiture), you'd say 'la nôtre'. If it's 'our cars', it's 'les nôtres'.
Referring to a Singular Noun
Use le nôtre for masculine singular nouns and la nôtre for feminine singular nouns. Example: 'Mon livre est ici, et le nôtre est là.' (My book is here, and ours is there.)
Referring to Plural Nouns
For plural nouns, use les nôtres, regardless of gender. Example: 'Vos amis sont partis, et les nôtres arrivent.' (Your friends have left, and ours are arriving.)
Use with 'Être'
You'll often hear nôtre used with the verb 'être' (to be) to indicate possession. Example: 'Cette voiture est la nôtre.' (This car is ours.)
Practice Sentences
Try translating these: 'Is this your dog or ours?' (Est-ce ton chien ou le nôtre ?) 'These are our ideas, not yours.' (Ce sont nos idées, pas les vôtres.)
No 'de' before nôtre
Unlike English 'of ours,' you don't use 'de' directly before nôtre when it functions as a possessive pronoun. It's already possessive on its own.
Common Phrases
Listen for this in everyday conversations. For instance, if someone asks 'C'est à qui?' (Whose is it?), a common answer could be 'C'est le nôtre!' (It's ours!)
Formal vs. Informal
While nôtre itself doesn't change for formality, remember to match the possessive adjective (notre) or pronoun (nôtre) to the formality of the situation when making a choice between 'yours' and 'ours'.
Singular vs. Plural of 'Ours'
In English, 'ours' is always 'ours'. In French, remember it's le nôtre/la nôtre for singular and les nôtres for plural. This is a common point of confusion for English speakers.
