Singular Mi Tu Su

Plural Mis Tus Sus

Grammar tip

'Their sister' is not Sus hermana but Su hermana as the possessive adjectives agree (or change) based on the thing being possessed and not the possessor

Su vs Tu

Su, like tu, can mean your The difference between your (tu) and your (su) lies in the degree of formality the speaker wishes to convey

Eg: My house is your house Mi casa es tu casa (speaking to someone you would address as 't') Mi casa es su casa (speaking to someone you would address as 'usted')
