Mine: mío, mía, míos, mías
Example: No me gustan los pollos amarillos. El mío es rojo. (I don't like yellow chickens. Mine is red.)
Yours (singular informal): tuyo, tuya, tuyos, tuyas
Example: ¿Dónde está mi lapiz rojo? La tuya está aquí. (Where is my red pencil? Yours is here.)
His, hers, yours (singular formal or plural formal), its, theirs:
suyo, suya,...
