Sim. Considero que poderia ser "o livro é de você"... "Yours" pode se utilizar para referir-se a você ou vocês.
I've never heard "de você(s)" to mean "your(s)", but teu(s),tua(s),seu(s),sua(s),vosso(s),vossa(s). We do have 2 useful contractions of this type: dele (de+ele) and dela (de+ela). De você(s) seems "about/of you" to me.
That's what it "told" me the right answer was, but apparently not, according to Paul Enrique...
Um. why is that? "Vocês" in this case is just "you (plural)," right? Why would you use “de“ with one, but not the other? :-S
I said "O livro e teu"- it said this was correct but reflected the correct answer as "O livro e seu." Are they both correct?
Can we say 'O livro e o seu?' or is the'o' wrong? Does it actually change the meaning from ' the book is yours' to 'the book is your one' ? which is similar meaning except the second sentence implies there are more than one books..
You have only one opition here: o livro é seu (or ESTE livro é o seu) (because we don't say "o livro é seu livro", so seu here is still an adjective!)
