I luv the kanji. What's its meaning?

Quote:
Since ' mine ' also means ' my English ', then it clears the mess.
Here's my quick stab at it:

She...than I (subject pronoun...than subject pronoun)
She...than me (subject pronoun...than object pronoun *common usage)

Her...than my... (possessive pronoun...than possessive pronoun)

Hers...than mine... (possessive pronoun...than possessive pronoun)

my X = mine. That is, you can reduced the phrase 'my house' to one word, mine. So,

His English is better than my English.
His English is better than mine.

Cas :)
