Usage notes
editIn European Portuguese this word is used with the third-person plural (vocês) to avoid the ambiguity of seu, which denotes both third-person singular and plural:
- Não se esqueçam de trazer os vossos fatos de banho.
- Don't forget to bring your bathing suits.
Here the verb esqueçam is conjugated in the third-person plural while the possessive determiner vossos is in the second-person plural.
