The Portuguese equivalent of the English word 'your' is the following: seu, seus, sua, suas, de voce; and teu, teus, tua, tuas, vossa, vossas, vosso, vossos. The Portuguese pronunciation is the following: SAY-oo, SAY-oosh, SOO-uh, SOO-uhsh, djee voh-SAY; and TAY-oo, TAY-oosh, TOO-uh, TOO-uhsh, VAW-suh, VAW-suhsh, VAW-soo, VAW-soosh. The words 'seu', 'teu', and 'vosso' are used with singular, male gender nouns; and the forms 'teus', 'seus', and 'vossos', with plural male gender nouns or mixed female and male gender plural nouns. The words 'sua', 'tua', and 'vossa' are used with singular, female gender nouns; and the forms 'suas', 'tuas', and 'vossas' are used with plural, female gender nouns. All the preceding examples go before any nouns that they may describe. But the form 'de voce', which translates as 'from' or 'of you', goes after. It's used when it isn't clear whether the 'seu' and 'sua' forms refer to he/she/it/you. The first set of examples tends to be used in Brazil. Both sets of examples tend to be used in Portugal. For Portugal still uses the 'you' singular [tu] and plural [vos] forms for children and the close circle of family and friends.

In Portuguese, "your" can be translated as "seu" if referring to something masculine or "sua" if referring to something feminine.
