It still sounds strange prononcing "V" as "B". But I have gotten used to it. I dont have to think about it anymore. But I'm still having problems and I know you said you would help Sabre, if you have the time.
I know the adjective for my is mi or mis but what would be the adjectives for your, his, her, its, our and their/
EG De quien es el libro? Es mi libro OR Es mio
How would I say No, it is'nt mine; its his/her.

And I still have'nt mastered how to get an upside down question mark or how to get the small line above my vowels :blush:

Its interesting that many of these "Scousisms" are also common in Irish slang, particularly in north side Dublin. This has probably much to do with the fact that a large number of Irish people emigrated to Liverpool over the years.

I mean, look at Wayne Rooney, he's a Paddy.

I know the adjective for my is mi or mis but what would be the adjectives for your, his, her, its, our and their/

Your as in you individual: Tu libro (one book), Tus libros(more than one book)

Your as in you lot: Vuestro libro (one book), Vuestros libros (more than one book)

Also note that libro is a masculine word (there's not reason to be masculine or femenine, they're just are), if it's a femenine word (casa, for instance), it must be said: vuestra casa, vuestras casas.

Our : Nuestro(s) libro(s), Nuestra(s) casa(s)
Their: su libro, sus libros
His / her: su libro, sus libros
My: mi libro, mis libros

EG De quien es el libro? Es mi libro OR Es mio

Both are correct. In the second one you're assuming you're talking about the book. Also, Es mio is used when you want to remark it's yours. For instance if someone asked Has Alonso renewed his contract, or shall he leave?

It would be proper to answer, es nuestro (it's ours) to state categorically that it is of our propiety.

It is also correct: Es el mío, it would be a more soft way to say it is my book, than Es mío. El (the) (different to Él(he)) reffers to the book in that case.

How would I say No, it is'nt mine; its his/her.

All this would be correct, but there are more options to say the same, it depends on the tone, and the context:

No, no es mío, es de él o de ella (if you want to specify sex)
No, no es mío, es suyo (him or her, you don't specify sex)
Mío no es (intentional change of order in the words, you say "defensively" and strongly that it's not yours)
No, no es el mío, es el de ellos (el works as described above it means the book, ellos in this case is them, no matter femenine or masculine)

Gracias Sabre. That explains a lot. Now I know where the masculine and feminine singular/plural comes in.
(el) mio, (la)mia, (los) mios (las) mias). etc
