my blue car and his

[navi tasan]

1) I went there in my blue car and he came in his.
Is his car necessarily blue?

2) Your beautiful wife played tennis with mine yesterday.
Am I saying that my wife is beautiful?

3) I will exchange your old, beat-up dictionary with mine.
Am I saying that my dictionary is also old and beat-up?

Gratefully,
Navi

1) No
2) Not necessarily
3) Not necessarily

Is his car necessarily blue?

Why are you using "came" and "went" instead of just one or the other?

2) Your beautiful wife played tennis with mine yesterday.
Am I saying that my wife is beautiful?

Not at all.

3) I will exchange your old, beat-up dictionary with mine.
Am I saying that my dictionary is also old and beat-up?

Again, no.

Quite the opposite actually - I'd expect yours to be newer and in better condition.

Thank you all very much,

I went there. I was there. He came there.

That's how I saw things. I don't know if it can be done or not. I am having doubts. I think that is the way it is done in my native languages.

I went there. I was there. He came there.

That makes sense.

With #1, I would say not necessarily, but there is good chance his car is blue.
