Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between 'tu' and 'tus'?
It's all about how many things you're talking about. Use 'tu' for one thing ('tu casa' - your house) and 'tus' for more than one thing ('tus casas' - your houses). Both are used when you're talking to one person informally ('tú').
When do I use 'tus' versus 'sus'?
It depends on who you're talking to. Use 'tus' when talking to someone you would call 'tú' (a friend, a family member). Use 'sus' when talking to someone you would call 'usted' (someone older, a boss), or when talking about things that belong to 'them' (ellos/ellas).
Is 'tus' ever used for one person?
No, 'tus' always describes more than one thing. If you are talking about one item that belongs to your friend, you must use 'tu'. For example, 'tu teléfono' (your telephone).
