Explanation
ของคุณ consists of ของ, which marks possession or association, and คุณ, the polite pronoun “you.” It normally follows the noun: หนังสือของคุณ means “your book.” When the item is already clear from context, ของคุณ can stand alone and mean “yours” or “your share.” It applies not only to possessions but also to things associated with or assigned to someone, such as a seat, turn, opinion, or responsibility. It is standard and polite.
Usage
Common when identifying someone’s belongings, handing an item to its owner, or distinguishing one person’s item from others. It is also used for assigned or associated things such as “your seat” or “your turn.”
Caution
The possessed noun normally comes first: say หนังสือของคุณ for “your book,” not ของคุณหนังสือ. To explicitly address multiple people, ของพวกคุณ can be used for “your” or “yours” in the plural.
