Frequently Asked Questions
Why does 'vuestro' change its ending?
It changes its ending (vuestro, vuestra, vuestros, vuestras) to match the item being owned, not the owners. If you own a masculine plural item (los libros), it's 'vuestros libros.' If you own a feminine singular item (la casa), it's 'vuestra casa.'
If I am learning Spanish for use in Latin America, do I need to learn 'vuestro'?
You should recognize it, as you might encounter it in Spanish media from Spain or in classic literature. However, for everyday communication in Latin America, you will use 'su' or 'suyo' instead of 'vuestro'.
