To say "a dog of mine" or "some leashes of yours," Spanish places post-posed possessives immediately after the noun.
Unlike short possessives (like mi or su), these must agree in both gender and number with the noun they modify (the object being owned), not the person who owns it.
| Owner | Masculine Singular | Feminine Singular | Masculine Plural | Feminine Plural |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| yo | mío | mía | míos | mías |
| tú | tuyo | tuya | tuyos | tuyas |
| él, ella, usted | suyo | suya | suyos | suyas |
| nosotros, nosotras | nuestro | nuestra | nuestros | nuestras |
To build these phrases, use an indefinite article (un, una, unos, unas) and a noun, followed by the correct post-posed possessive.
| A friend of mine has a champion of this breed. | Un amigo mío tiene un campeón de esta raza. |
| Some leashes of yours are in the cage. | Unas correas tuyas están en la jaula. |
| Are you going to compete with a dog of hers? | ¿Vas a competir con un perro suyo? |
| The judge gives a reward to a champion of ours. | El juez le da una recompensa a un campeón nuestro. |
