Step 3
3 of 4
Note.

Imagine you are talking to your brother. You will say something about your parents. In Spanish, you would normally use the possessive adjective “mis” instead of “nuestros”. You both know, however, that your brother’s parents are your parents as well. There is no connotation applied to “mis” in this case, i.e. no one will think you are taking their parents away. The same applies for objects as well. In the above scenario, replace “padres” with “casa”. The house still belongs to the both of you even if you say “mi casa” to another co-owner.

Result
