Usage notes
  • When used before a noun as part of the noun phrase, the apocopate forms mi and mis are used instead of the full form mío.
Son mis libros. — “[They] are my books.”
Son los libros míos. — “[They] are my books” (“the books of mine”)
  • This pronoun is often used substantively, with the noun implied but omitted:
¿Es tu libro? Sí, es el mío. — “Is [it] your book? Yes, [it] is my [book].”
