| Dec 19, 2014 at 9:42 | comment | added | Ingmar | No, it's Ich liebe Ihre Musik and Ich liebe Ihr Lachen. Unfortunately this is not the venue to go into greater detail. | |

No. Firstly, music is not an activity :) Secondly, it is not about the personal aspect. It's just that the construction to take one's picture is not used in German and instead we say to take a picture of something. Your examples are something completely different and are translated to Ich mag Ihre Musik / Ihr Lächeln

| Dec 19, 2014 at 9:08 | comment | added | AAI | Yes that clears the doubt. So any personal activity like.. "Ich liebe Sie Musik" (I like your Music ). "Ich moechte Sie lachen"(I like your laugh) are right ? | |
| Dec 19, 2014 at 9:06 | comment | added | Ingmar | Ihr would be "your", but the German expression doesn't refer to the photo as such (ihr Foto = your picture) but the act of taking the picture instead (Darf ich Sie fotografieren = lit. may I photograph you). | |
| Dec 19, 2014 at 8:42 | comment | added | AAI | I agree. For the case of a you(polite form singular) I thought the possessiv pronomen Ihr (Your) may be used. Because it is about that person and her photo that I wish to take. Please clarify | |
| Dec 19, 2014 at 7:31 | comment | added | Ingmar | Conveniently, Sie refers to both a single person and a group (polite form). If you are on familiar terms, it would be "dich" (single person) or "euch" (group). | |
| Dec 19, 2014 at 7:23 | comment | added | AAI | Entschuldigung, "Sie" is meaning "You". How can I say, "take Your photos". | |
