  Almost perfect Mikoz (I haven't forgotten about the jokes btw, give me some time )

I is ego (with omega)
We is emeis (ei is always in these cases read as "i". In general it is always read as "i" unless the "i" of the "ei" has "¨" diacritics over it). Also note that we seldomly use the personal pronoun since it is clear by the form of the verb "to be" to whom we are referring.

you are in the plural eseis eisaste

he is - Aftos (phonetic transcription) einai

My = diko mou (for one thing) dika mou (for many). Mou can be used on its own too

i.e.
My bicycle = to diko mou podilato OR to podilato mou
My shoes = ta dika mou papoutsia OR ta papoutsia mou

Ours = diko mou (1 think) dika mas (many things) . Mas can be used on its own

your (sing) = diko sou/ dika sou (same as above)
your (pl) = diko sas/dika sas (same as above)
his = diko tou/dika tou (same as above)
her = diko tis/dika tis (same as above)
their = diko tous/dika tis (same as above)
