EditGender
The gender in these words is of the object possessed, not the possesor (as in English).
For example
Ele vai para a sua casa - He goes to his house.
Even though 'ele' is masculine, we use the feminine 'a sua' because 'casa' is feminine.

EditConfusion
Unfortunately, confusion can arise with the forms
seu,
sua,
seus and
suas. This is because they can mean
his,
her,
your and
their. We therefore use the following forms frequently.
| a casa dele |
his house |
| a casa dela |
her house |
| a casa deles |
their (m) house |
| a casa delas |
their (f) house |
Note: The gender of these words refers, unlike the words above, to the possesor, not the object(s) possessed.
