Usage notesEdit
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).
