Though at first they may appear complicated, actually the only forms of the possessive adjectives which must be learned are: mi, mis (my); su, sus (your, his, her, their); nuestro, nuestros (our).
Like other adjectives in Spanish, the possessive adjectives agree in gender and number with the nouns they modify.
| mi sombrero (my hat) | mis sombreros (my hats) |
| mi pluma (my pen) | mis plumas (my pens) |
| nuestra casa (our house) | nuestras casas (our houses) |
| nuestro tío (our uncle) | nuestros tíos (our uncles) |
| su primo (your cousin) | sus primos (your cousins) |
| su prima (your cousin) | sus primas (your cousins) |
The possessive adjectives appear as follows:
| singular | plural | |
| my | mi | mis |
| your (familiar) | tu | tus |
| his, her, its, your (formal) | su | sus |
| our | nuestro, -a | nuestros, -as |
| your (familiar) | vuestro, -a | vuestros, -as |

Since su may mean your, his, her, its, their, ambiguity is avoided by use of the phrases de él, de ella, de usted, de ellos, etc. Thus, Su primo es joven. becomes, if necessary for reasons of clarity, El primo de ella es joven. or El primo de usted es joven., etc.
