Explanation: This word is a reflexive possessive adjective or pronoun, meaning 'his/her/its/their own'. It refers back to the subject of the sentence. It agrees in gender, number, and case with the noun it modifies, not with the possessor. For example, if the subject is 'he', 'suo' would still mean 'his own' but would agree with the noun being possessed.
