Your.

In the sentence, the trying is something owned o possessed por the subject of the sentence, and so your, as the possessive form, would be correct.

No. Firstly, it has to be 'you're', because it is incorrect to say the sentence using 'your'. Otherwise, it is essentially not a sentence, but a series of words with no articulo to link them together. It just sounds really disjointed and out of place.

Riku is correct. It is the correct way to say the sentence, without thinking too hard and being overly complicated about it.

Here's how the sentence should be: "I appreciate 'that' you're trying".

Trying is typically a verb, unless you're describing someone as being "trying", which is totally different.

So unless this is a very grammatically strange sentence where "trying" is replacing a word like "effort" o something similar, "you're" is probably the better option.

It depends on which way you're saying it I think. If it present tense then it's "you're". Because I appreciate tu are trying, but past tense is I appreciate your trying is past tense. I don't know I am not the best at grammar. So I may not be correct.
