Stressed (or "long-form") possessive adjectives indicate to whom something belongs and translate as **mine, yours, his, hers, ours, theirs**. They go **after** the noun (or after *ser*) and agree with the noun in gender and number.
|
|
|
|
## Key Rules
|
|
- Forms agree in **gender** (-o/-a) and **number** (+s).
|
|
- Used after the noun ("un amigo mío") or as a predicate after *ser* ("el libro es mío").
|
|
- *Suyo/a(s)* can mean his, hers, yours (formal), or theirs — clarify with *de él / de ella / de usted / de ellos* if ambiguous.
|
|
- Equivalent in meaning to a regular possessive used before the noun: *tu cuaderno* = *el cuaderno tuyo*.
|
|
- Pluralize by adding **-s**.

## Notes & Gotchas
|
|
- Always agree with the **possessed noun**, not the owner: *los amigos nuestros* (our friends — masculine plural).
|
|
- *Suyo* is ambiguous; in spoken Spanish people often replace it with *de él / de ella / de usted / de ellos* for clarity.
|
|
- Stressed forms emphasize the possession; the unstressed forms (mi, tu, su, nuestro, vuestro) are more common in everyday speech before the noun.
