What pronouns are used with "vos"?

Vos is the 2nd person singular verb form found in some Central and South American countries. I know the verb conjugations are different, but what pronouns would I use? How would I say, "Is this your computer?" or "Is that yours?" or "I told you yesterday"? Thanks!

Voseo pronominal

El voseo pronominal es el uso del pronombre "vos" como sujeto ("vos comés"), vocativo ("¡Vos, ayudame!"), como complemento con preposición ("Te vi a vos"), y como término comparativo ("Es alto como vos"). En los casos de complementos sin preposición y los pronombres átonos se utiliza "te" y "tu" ("Te está mirando a vos", "¿Viste como quedó tu auto?"), y en el caso del posesivo, se utiliza "tuyo" ("Vos dijiste que era tuyo.")

Since you asked in English.

Vos when it is a subject pronoun

Vos when vocative. (Hey, you there,....)

Vos when object of a preposition

Vos in comparisons He is as tall as you.

When it is a direct or indirect object pronoun (átono) use te, but (tónico) (a vos)

use tu for the possessive adjective (tuyo long form)

use tuyo for the possessive pronoun

I don't live in a country where vos is used, but I believe it is just tuyo and te. Right guys?

I thought tuyo is for something else. - Tasear, Dec 18, 2011
