    Atúto is so sweet, he kissed his mother

    A boy is growing into a young man, a girl quickly has her mister.

Usage notes

edit
  • While êle-sa can be used in a somewhat similar manner as the third-person possessive pronoun, su in particular carries a reflexive sense, as in "his own", "her own", etc.. This is akin to the Balto-Slavic usage of savo, swój, свой (svoj), and so on, albeit usually only for the third person, rarely extending to the second person.
  • Essentially functionally equivalent to onçóm-sa, although this latter formation is less common.

    Vino con su amigo.
    He came with his friend.
    Habló a sus hijas.
    She spoke to her daughters.
    1. used to express an approximate number: about, approximately
      Pesa sus dos kilogramos.
      It weighs about two kilograms.
      (literally, “It weighs its two kilograms.”)

Usage notes

edit
  • The forms su and sus are only used before and within the noun phrase of the modified noun. In other positions, a form of suyo is used instead:
Son sus libros. — “[They] are his books.”
Son los libros suyos. — “[They] are his books.” (“...the books of him.”)
Son los suyos. — "[They] are his."

Besides being a pronoun, because su occurs in a noun phrase and expresses reference, it also grammatically classifies as a determiner (specifically a possessive/genitive determiner).
