Indica que algo pertenece a la persona de la que se habla.

The word "suyo" in Spanish is a possessive pronoun or adjective that means "his," "hers," "yours" (formal), or "theirs," depending on the context. It indicates possession or belonging.

  • As a pronoun, it replaces a noun:
    Este libro es suyo.
    (This book is his/hers/yours/theirs.)

  • As an adjective, it modifies a noun:
    Es su casa. (His/her/your/their house.)
    Pero para avoid ambiguity, "suyo" is often emphasized.

It agrees in gender and number with the thing possessed, so forms include suyo, suya, suyos, suyas.
