In German
ihr
Meaning: their (possessive)
Example sentences
DasistihrHaus.
That is their house.
IhreKindergehenzurSchule.
Their children go to school.
Grammar note
Possessive “ihr” (their) is spelled and declined exactly like possessive “ihr” (her) — same “ein”-type endings, same word. Only the surrounding context tells you whether a single “she” or a group “they” owns the thing.
Common mistake
Don't assume “ihr” always means “their” — see the [her](/german/possessives/her) page for the full her/their/you-all three-way overlap this one word carries.

Why is “their” the same word as “her” in German?
German “ihr” covers both the third-person singular feminine possessive and the third-person plural possessive — a genuine, disclosed overlap, not an error.
How do you say “our” instead of “their”?
“Unser” — a completely different word, see the [our](/german/possessives/our) page.
