Conceito novo
Su: one word, many owners
Spanish uses a single possessive, su, for his, her, its, their — and for your when you say usted or ustedes. Like mi and tu, it only changes for number:
- su casa — his / her / their / your house
- sus llaves — his / her / their / your keys
Usually the context makes the owner clear. When it doesn't, put de + the person after the noun:
| Owner | Form | Example |
|---|---|---|
| él | de él — his | la casa de él |
| ella | de ella — her | el piso de ella |
| ellos / ellas | de ellos / de ellas — their | el jardín de ellos |
| usted | de usted — your | el coche de usted |
De él always stays as two words: only the article el, without an accent, merges — de + el → del.
