Word origin

From Latin vester via medieval Spanish, 'vuestro' became the second-person plural possessive adjective that agrees in gender and number with the noun.

Usage tips

  • Used mainly in Spain; in Latin America speakers use 'su' with ustedes, and in colloquial Spanish 'vuestro' can appear after the noun (un coche vuestro) for a softer tone.
