suo

English translation of suo

his

The word 'suo' is the Italian equivalent of the English possessive pronoun 'his'. It is used to indicate that something belongs to a male person or animal. For example, 'Il suo libro' means 'His book'. It is important to note that in Italian, the possessive adjective must agree in gender and number with the object it refers to, not the owner. So, 'sua' is used for feminine singular nouns, 'suoi' for masculine plural nouns, and 'sue' for feminine plural nouns.
