How to express possession naturally and respectfully.

((please note that these questions are being asked to a complete stranger))   감사합니다!!!

Answer

When we say to someone politely, we usually get rid of "YOU/ YOUR" in speaking.  so we try not to mention  "YOU/YOUR".
we speak in other ways.

for example, 
Is this your bag?     
--> 이 가방  "선생님" 껀가요?    선생님 is called someone respectfully
  or 이 가방 "주인"이세요?  (Are you the owner of this bag?)

Answer

leaving out 'your' will be the most natural way. otherwise it would be too formal or misuse

Answer

what is 껀가요 means?

-----  껀가요 is short type of "것인가요?"
~ 것 = the thing  of someone's

내 것 = (the thing of) mine

what about 이세요?

----세요 is respectful type of question.

"군인"이세요?  = Are you a "soldier"?

Answer

Please hold it in YOUR hand. ---->  이것을 손으로 잡고 계세요. 

Do you have anything in YOUR pockets?  ----> 주머니에 다른 것들은 없어요?

Is this YOUR bag?   ----> 이 가방이 당신것이 맞나요?
