"Tuas facas"

Translation: Your knives

[AlexErdman]

Arggh, stupid English.

[Hector290697]

Lol XD. French has a funny word that sounds profane in English.

[Shem19]

Would "Suas facas" mean Your knives as well?

[tu.8zPhLD72zzoZN]

It could or it could mean "his knives", "her knives", "its knives" (a robot?) or
"their knives".

Yes but Suas is formal while Tuas is informal.

[LaReinaBella1]

That explains a lot. Thank you

Why is knife spelled with v?
The only definitions I found for knive was:

to cut, pierce or kill with a knife,
A brawl ensued among the friends and he was knived to death.

[Paulenrique]

If a word ends in -f or -fe, you take its plural by removing f/fe and adding -ves: leaf - leaves, loaf - loaves, shelf - shelves, wolf - wolves, knife - knives

[JLadoGelado]

So alternatively, would it be você facas or vocês facas? And why?

[Paulenrique]

"Você/s" = you, not "your".

[jadedlilth]

Maybe if you were for some reason addressing the knives...?

Please Duolingo, don't bother us with English. There are lots of non-native (English) speakers here to learn Portuguese. Let knifes pass and concentrate on what we are here for: Portuguese!

i heard "duas facas" because nobody at all around here uses the pronoun "tuas"

[GiannoLava]

Duas e tuas :P
