hers PRON In Italian, possessive pronouns have the same forms as the corresponding adjectives, are usually preceded by an article, and reflect the gender and number of the noun they are standing for. So hers is translated by il suo, la sua, i suoi, le sue, according to what is being referred to: your book and hers = il tuo libro e il suo; the blue car is hers = la macchina blu è la sua; my children are younger than hers = i miei bambini sono più piccoli dei suoi; your shoes are brown, while hers are black = le tue scarpe sono marroni, mentre le sue sono nere. - Since Italian possessive adjectives, unlike English ones, may be preceded by an article, a demonstrative adjective or a numeral, an English possessive pronoun is often translated by an Italian possessive adjective: a cousin of hers = un suo cugino; that schoolfriend of hers = quel suo compagno di scuola; four books of hers = quattro suoi libri. - For examples and particular usages, see this entry.:
