Grammar point: Stressed possessives (mío, tuyo, suyo)
In Spanish, you already know the unstressed possessives that go before nouns, like „mi camisa“ (my shirt) or „tu abrigo“ (your coat). But did you know there is another expressive and common set of possessives called stressed possessives (los posesivos tónicos)—such as „mío“, „tuyo“, and „suyo“? These forms are placed after the noun or stand completely on their own.
