Spanish Short-Form Possessive Determiners or Adjectives

Spanish Short-Form Possessive Determiners or Adjectives Possessive descriptors of Spanish, similar to those of English, are a method of showing who claims or is in control of something. Their utilization is direct, despite the fact that they (like different descriptors) must match the things they adjust in both number and sexual orientation. Nuts and bolts About the Short-Form Possessives In contrast to English, Spanish has two types of possessive descriptors, a short structure that is utilized before things, and a long-structure possessive modifier that is utilized after things. They are regularly known as the possessive determiners. Here are the short-structure possessive descriptors (once in a while known as possessive determiners): mi, mis - my - Compra mi piano. (She is purchasing my piano.)tu, tus - your (particular recognizable) - Quiero comprar tu coche. (I need to purchase your car.)su, sus - your (solitary or plural formal), its, his, her, their - Voy a su oficina. (I am setting off to his/her/your/their office.)nuestro, nuestra, nuestros, nuestras - our - Es nuestra casa. (It is our house.)vuestro, vuestra, vuestros, vuestras - your (plural natural) -  ¿Dà ³nde estn vuestros hijos? (Where are your kids?) Note that the possessive descriptive words change by number and sexual orientation. The change is with the things they adjust, not with the person(s) who claim or have the item. Along these lines you would state his book and her book similarly: su libro. A few models: Es nuestro coche. (It is our car.)Es nuestra casa. (It is our house.)Son nuestros coches. (They are our cars.)Son nuestras casas. (They are our homes.) As you would envision, su and sus can be uncertain, since they can mean his, her, its, your, or their. On the off chance that the utilization of su or sus doesnt make the sentence understood, you can utilize de followed by a prepositional pronoun: Quiero comprar su casa. (I need to purchase his/her/your/their house.)Quiero comprar la casa de à ©l. (I need to purchase his house.)Quiero comprar la casa de ella. (I need to get her house.)Quiero comprar la casa de usted. (I need to purchase your house.)Quiero comprar la casa de ellos. (I need to purchase their home.) In certain regions, de à ©l, de ella, and de ellos are favored over su and sus for saying his, her, and their, even where no vagueness is available. Various Forms of ‘Your’ One wellspring of disarray for Spanish understudies is that there are eight words that can be deciphered as your, and they arent tradable. The come in just three gatherings, be that as it may, as a result of the qualifications Spanish makes for number and sex: tu/tus, su/sus, and vuestro/vuestra/vuestros/vuestras. The fundamental principle here is that possessives can be delegated either natural or formal similarly the pronouns for you are. So tu and tus compare in use to tã º (not the composed emphasize on the pronoun), vuestro and its numbered and gendered structures relate with vosotros, and su relates with usted and ustedes. So on the off chance that you were conversing with somebody about her vehicle, you may utilize tu coche on the off chance that she is a companion or relative however su coche on the off chance that she is an outsider. Punctuation Involving the Possessive Forms There are two normal issues that English speakers regularly experience with these descriptive words: Abuse of the Possessive Adjectives The possessive modifiers are utilized by and large similarly as they are utilized in English. (What could be compared to the, rather than possessive descriptive words. Sam arregla el pelo. (Sam is brushing his hair.)Ella juntã ³ las manos para orar. (She joined her hands to pray.)Ricardo rompiã ³ los anteojos. (Ricardo broke his glasses.) Reiteration of Possessive Adjectives: In English, it is entirely expected to utilize a solitary possessive descriptive word to allude to more than one thing. In Spanish, a solitary possessive descriptive word can allude to just a single thing, except if the numerous things allude to similar people or items. For instance, child mis amigos y hermanos would mean they are my companions and kin (with the companions and the kin being indistinguishable people), while child mis amigos y mis hermanos would mean they are my companions and kin (the companions not being indistinguishable individuals from the kin). Essentially, my felines and canines would be interpreted as mis gatos y mis perros.
