ro la maleta mia y no la de su amigo: I want _my_ portmanteau, not
your friend's.
"A friend of mine," "a customer of yours" will be translated "un amigo
de los mios," "un cliente de los suyos," or also "un amigo mio," "un
cliente suyo," without the preposition _de_.
The Possessive Pronoun preceded by the neuter article =lo= denotes
"property in general," as--
Lo mio (mine--that which is mine).
Lo nuestro (ours--that which belongs to us).
Lo suyo _or_ lo propio (one's own property).
Lo ajeno (other people's property (that which belongs to others)).
In addressing a person translate "my," etc., by "mio," etc., as--
Amigo mio: My friend.
Muy Senor mio (usual introduction to a Spanish letter).
But if the noun is qualified by an adjective, both "mi" and "mio" are
used ("mi" is more general), as Mi querido amigo (my dear friend).
