Our

/aʊər/ or /ɑːr/ determiner

Definition

Our shows that something belongs to or is connected with the speaker and at least one other person.

Etymology

From Old English “ūre,” the possessive form of “we.” It has long marked shared ownership or connection.

Kelly Says

That tiny word ‘our’ can create instant belonging: ‘our school,’ ‘our team,’ ‘our country.’ It doesn’t just describe ownership; it invites people into a shared identity, whether they asked for it or not.
