Because su and sus can have so many meanings, the definite article may be used instead of su with these expressions following the noun:  de Ud., de él, de ella, de Uds., de ellos and de ellas. los libros de ellos  their books The terminal forms are placed after the noun, and the noun must be preceded by the definite article, except in direct address.  When used with the indefinite article, it corresponds to the English "of mine, of yours," etc. el libro mío  my book Qué haces, hijo mío?  What are you doing, my son? un amigo mío  a friend of mine
