 The German word "ihr" can mean:
- you (pl.)
- her
- their

So, the sentence "Ihr Auto ist in ihrer Garage" can mean:
- Her car is in her garage
- Her car is in their garage
- Their car is in their garage
- Their car is in her garage

Written as "Ihr" (capital "I"), it's also formal for "your" (sing. & pl.)

So, in spoken language it can mean:
- Her car is in your garage
- Your car is in her garage
- Their car is in your garage
- Your car is in their garage

Ihrjoy our language!
