Questions & Answers about Tú siempre confundes mis guantes con los tuyos.
Why is it los tuyos instead of just tuyos?
In Spanish, when you use a word like 'yours' to completely replace a noun (a possessive pronoun), you usually need to put a definite article (el, la, los, or las) in front of it. Here, it replaces tus guantes, so you need the masculine plural article los to match.
Why does 'yours' translate to a plural word (tuyos) in this sentence?
What is the difference between how mis and los tuyos are used here?
mis is a short possessive adjective ('my') that always sits directly in front of the noun it describes (mis guantes). los tuyos is a possessive pronoun ('yours') that completely replaces the noun so you don't have to repeat the word guantes again at the end of the sentence.
