Hello, there!<\/p>\n

Today’s post is a suggestion by a reader and it is really useful info for you. We are going to learn how to say mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours and theirs in Portuguese.<\/p>\n

So first things first. Let’s review the possessive adjectives in Portuguese:<\/p>\n

meu(s) – minha(s) = my<\/strong>
\nMeu carro quebrou! O que vou fazer?
\nMy car broke down! What am I going to do?<\/em><\/p>\n

teu(s) – tua(s) = your – t\u00fa form<\/strong>
\nTeu filho est\u00e1 te procurando.
\nYour son is looking for you.<\/em><\/p>\n

seu(s) – sua(s) = your – voc\u00ea* form<\/strong>
\nMe empresta seu l\u00e1piz?
\nCan I borrow your pencil?<\/em><\/p>\n

seu(s) – sua(s) = his, her<\/strong>
\nEla adora brincar com suas bonecas.
\nShe loves to play with her dolls.<\/em><\/p>\n

nosso(s) – nossa(s) = our<\/strong>
\nNossa aula come\u00e7a em cinco minutos.
\nOur class starts in five minutes.<\/em><\/p>\n

seu(s) – sua(s) = your – voc\u00eas** form<\/strong>
\nPeguem suas coisas e vamos embora.
\nPick up your things and let’s leave.<\/em><\/p>\n

dele(s) – dela(s) = their<\/strong>
\nEles jogam futebol com seus amigos.
\nThey play soccer with their friends.<\/em><\/p>\n

*When we use formal pronouns o senhor<\/em> (masculine) and a senhora<\/em> (feminine), the corresponding forms are do(s) senhor(res)<\/em> and da(s) senhora(s)<\/em>
\n*When used in the plural form, your is also said as de voc\u00eas<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Now, how do we say “mine”, “yours”, etc? It’s super easy! You just add “o” or “a” before the possessive adjective.<\/p>\n

o(s) meu(s) – a(s) minha(s) = mine<\/strong>
\nVoc\u00ea tem suas coisas e eu tenho as minhas.
\nYou have your things and I have mine.<\/em><\/p>\n

o(s) teu(s) – a(s) tua(s) = yours – t\u00fa form<\/strong>
\nEstes papeis s\u00e3o teus?
\nAre these papers yours?<\/em><\/p>\n

o(s) seu(s) – a(s) sua(s) = yours – voc\u00ea* form<\/strong>
\nMinhas aulas j\u00e1 est\u00e3o preparadas, agora preparem as suas.
\nMy classes are prepared, now prepare yours.<\/em><\/p>\n

o(s) seu(s) – a(s) sua(s) = his, hers<\/strong>
\nEu me viro com meus irm\u00e3os, ele que se vire com os seus.
\nI’ll deal with my brothers, let him deal with his.<\/em><\/p>\n

o(s) nosso(s) – a(s) nossa(s) = our<\/strong>
\nSeu pedido j\u00e1 chegou, mas o nosso n\u00e3o.
\nYour order has arrived, but ours hasn’t.<\/em><\/p>\n

o(s) seu(s) – a(s) sua(s) = (your) – voc\u00eas** form<\/strong>
\nEstes s\u00e3o os nossos ingressos e estes s\u00e3o os seus.
\nThese are our tickets and these are yours.<\/em><\/p>\n

o(s) dele(s) – a(s) dela(s) = theirs<\/strong>
\nEu cuido das minhas coisas. Se eles n\u00e3o cuidam das deles, n\u00e3o \u00e9 problema meu.
\nI take care of my things. If they don’t take care of theirs, it’s not my problem.<\/em><\/p>\n
