My: mera, meri, mere
"My" here changes not by the speaker but by what is possessed. Mera goes with the masculine, meri with the feminine, mere with the plural. The head is masculine, and "my head" is mera sar. The eye is feminine, and "my eye" is meri aankh. The hands are many, and "my hands" is mere haath. For example: “میرا سر بھاری ہے” — My head is heavy. A rule from the Urdu course: worked out on examples, not memorized as a wording.
How it works
"My" here changes not by the speaker but by what is possessed. Mera goes with the masculine, meri with the feminine, mere with the plural. The head is masculine, and "my head" is mera sar. The eye is feminine, and "my eye" is meri aankh. The hands are many, and "my hands" is mere haath.
The same trio works in "whose". Kis ka, kis ki, kis ke — the gender agrees with the thing, not the owner. About another’s one says tumhara or aap ka, by the owner’s person, and the thing still dictates the gender.
The order is the same as English here: "my" stands before the thing, and only its ending belongs to the thing. Learned the word’s gender — learned the form of "my".

How the rule settles in your head
A rule is not memorized from an explanation. It is memorized from an attempt to use it and a mistake — that is why the app delivers it mixed in with words, not as a separate lesson: it resurfaces exactly where you forgot it.
