Macanese edit

Etymology edit

From Indo-Portuguese su, from Old Galician-Portuguese seu.

Pronoun edit

su

  1. third-person reflexive possessive pronoun: his (own), her (own), its (own), their (own)
    Cad'unga co su teladoEveryone with their own roof
    Atúto qui boniteza, ja dâ unga ucho pa su mai
    Atúto is so sweet, he kissed his mother
    Quiánca ta virá ficá nhum, nina azinha têm su sium.
    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.

      Pesa sus dos kilogramos.
      It weighs about two kilograms.
      (literally, “It weighs its two kilograms.”)
  2. (before the noun, formal) Apocopic form of suyo (your)

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).
