What type of figurative language would My be?

"My" is not an example of figurative language. It's a simple possessive pronoun, meaning "belonging to me."

Figurative language uses words or phrases in a non-literal way to create a special effect or meaning. Some examples of figurative language include:

* Metaphor: Comparing two unlike things directly (e.g., "My heart is a heavy stone.")

* Simile: Comparing two unlike things using "like" or "as" (e.g., "My love is like a red, red rose.")

* Personification: Giving human qualities to inanimate objects (e.g., "The wind whispered secrets through the trees.")

* Hyperbole: Exaggeration for effect (e.g., "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse.")

* Onomatopoeia: Words that imitate sounds (e.g., "The clock ticked loudly.")

* Idiom: A phrase with a figurative meaning (e.g., "Let's hit the road.")

Since "My" doesn't use any of these techniques, it's simply a pronoun and not an example of figurative language.
