Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 'vuestros' and 'sus'?

'Vuestros' means 'your' specifically when you are talking to a group of people informally (vosotros), almost exclusively in Spain. 'Sus' is used everywhere else in the Spanish-speaking world for 'your' (formal plural, ustedes) or 'their' or 'his/her/its'.

Can 'vuestros' be used if the group of owners includes both men and women?

Yes. When a group includes both men and women, Spanish defaults to the masculine plural form, 'vuestros'. This applies to all plural nouns and modifiers.
