You can see that the word "mi" (my) provides additional information. It tells that whatever we are talking about is mine. The second sentence is an example of a Spanish Possessive Pronoun. Here you can see that the word "mío" (mine) is, in fact, replacing the noun. Now that you understand the difference between Spanish Possessive Adjectives and Spanish Possessive Pronouns, let focus on the first, and leave the latter for a future lesson. Spanish Possessive Adjectives - Mi libro - My book - Mis libros - My books - Tu casa- Your home / house - Tus casas - Your homes / houses - Su amigo - His/her friend (also "Your friend" when addressing someone formally) - Sus amigos - His/her friends (also "Your friends" when addressing someone formally) - Nuestro amigo - Our friend - Nuestros amigos - Our friend - Nuestra amiga - Our girl-friend - Nuestras amigas - Our girl-friends - Vuestro amigo - Your friend (You Plural) - Vuestros amigos - Your friends (You Plural) - Vuestra amiga - Your girl-friend (You Plural) - Vuestras amigas - Your girl-friends (You Plural) - Su amigo - Their friend - Sus amigos - Their friends - Su amiga - Their girl-friend - Sus amigas - Their girl-friends Note how "his", "her", "its", "your (formal) and "their" are exactly the same in Spanish: "su".
