The meaning of YOUR is of or relating to you or yourself or yourselves especially as possessor or possessors, agent or agents, or object or objects of an action.
You're and your are easy to confuse. You're means you are. Your means belonging to you. You're is a contraction, and your is a possessive determiner. 'You're welcome' means you are welcome. 'Your welcome' mean the welcome of you.
