Spanish for his?

Question

Spanish for his?

Answer 1

It would depend on how you are using it - Su, sus or suyo can all be used as direct replacements for the word "his", but often in Spanish the word is implied rather than stated.

Have a look here first, and if that doesn't answer your question, give us an example of exactly what you are trying to say.

Welcome to the forum - you will find that you get much clearer answers if you state your question or problem clearly

Answer 2

• Es su libro de él = It's his book.
• Son sus libros de él = They're his books.
• Los libros son suyos. or Los libros son de él = The books are his.
• El libro es suyo. or El libro es de él. = The book is his.
• La manzana es suya. or La manzana es de él. = The apple is his.
• Las manzanas son suyas. or Las manzanas son de él = The apples are his.

You don't always have to add "de él" to the end if it's already obvious that you are talking about him but keep in mind that "su, sus, suyo, suya, suyos, suyas" can also mean "hers", "theirs", "yours (de usted)" or "yours (de ustedes)." It helps to add "de él, de ella, de ellos, de ellas, de usted, de ustedes" to clarify sometimes.

Answer 3

Spanish for his is "su". I looked it up in the dictionary and there is no doubt about that! That question was too easy for me. Do you have anything more difficult?

What about sus, suyo, and de él? Maybe that will make the question a little more difficult for you. - Goyo, Jan 31, 2010
