est l'adjectif possessif de la première personne du pluriel (nous), invariable en genre mais avec une forme plurielle nos : notre maison, nos enfants. Ne pas confondre avec le pronom tonique nôtre (avec accent circumflexe) : c'est le nôtre (it's ours).
La politesse médiévale utilisait notre pour désigner un monarque seul (pluriel de majesté). Aujourd'hui, notre dans un discours institutionnel crée une solidarité rhétorique entre l'énonciateur et son public : notre mission, notre engagement.
