"Sua salada"

Translation: Your salad

[FreddoBarbarroja]

would it be correct and natural to say: "a salada dele" ?

[TiagoMoita_PT]

Yes

[Neia.Abreu]

Very good! I think it would be better and without double meaning.
A salada dela (da mulher) A salada dele ( do homem) A sua salada (de quem ?)

What is the diferens between teu and seu?

[Luis_Domingos]

"Teu" is in reference to "tu", "Seu" usually in reference to "você" (although it may also mean his, hers, its, and theirs becomes of the historical issues associated with it being a 3rd person pronoun).

[melesana]

also "his salad"?

[TiagoMoita_PT]

yes

[stfzzed]

how to differ them then?

[TiagoMoita_PT]

Context

[PaulAbraha11]

And "its salad"? - this is rejected by the way

[Alander17779]

But it is correct.
Sua/Seu = its, his, her
Natives use like 'your' too.
Sometimes Duolingo wrongs.

[Philippoul]

[GC1998]

Can it not also mean their salad?

[thatweirdgirl25]

Yes, it can. 'Sua' can mean your, its, her, his etc.

[monda5]

I thought sua is for women and seu is for men?

[Luis_Domingos]

"Sua" is for feminine nouns, "seu" is for masculine nouns. Since salada is a feminine noun, it takes "sua".

[ao191727]

when do you use tua/sua?

[Rae.F]

tua for singular feminine things that belong to tu.

sua for singular feminine things that belong to você, ele, ela, vocês, eles, elas.

[ao191727]

Tua is like first person and sua is like third person?

[Rae.F]

Tua is second person. Sua is second or third person.

[IceCreamCrackers]

How about for singular masculine things?

[Paulenrique]

"teu" and "seu".

[AshCT]

Is it correct to say Tu/ Teu is used evereywhere except Brazil, and in Brazil its Voce/ Seu.. Mean the same thing just used in different Portuguese speaking countries?

[deactivated user]

Actually, we use tu/teu/tua (2nd person) in Brazil, but it's used only on the Southern Region of Brazil, which includes the states Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul. Pretty much everywhere else in Brazil você/seu/sua (3rd person) is used. I believe in Portugal they use the 2nd person regularly as well. About the other countries that speak Portuguese though, I have no idea.

[IceCreamCrackers]

Sua vs Seu. What's the difference?

[Rae.F]

http://www.nativlang.com/po/qg_pronouns_possessives.htm

The possessives must agree in gender and number with the thing that is possessed, not with who possesses it.

seu - singular masculine
sua - singular feminine
seus - plural masculine
suas - plural feminine

It is always "sua salada" because "salada" is feminine. It has nothing to do with the salad belonging to a man or a woman.
