How to Say "our" in Spanish
The Spanish word for “our” is “nuestro” — A1 level. This is a very common word in everyday Spanish.
Examples
Este es nuestro perro.
This is our dog.
Nuestra casa es azul.
Our house is blue.
¿Viste nuestros zapatos nuevos?
Did you see our new shoes?
It Has to Match the Noun!
The ending of 'nuestro' must change to match the thing being owned, not the owners. Use 'nuestro' for masculine things (nuestro coche) and 'nuestra' for feminine things (nuestra casa).
Making it Plural
If you own more than one thing, just add an 's' to the end. For example, 'nuestros coches' (our cars) or 'nuestras casas' (our houses).
Forgetting to Change the Ending
Mistake: “Me gusta nuestro casa.”
Correction: Me gusta nuestra casa. The word 'casa' is feminine, so the word for 'our' needs to be feminine too ('nuestra').
Confusing Owners and Objects
Mistake: “Un hombre y una mujer dicen: 'Nuestra hijo es inteligente.'”
Correction: Un hombre y una mujer dicen: 'Nuestro hijo es inteligente.' The word must match 'hijo' (masculine), not the gender of the parents.
