próprias

Próprias is the feminine plural form of the Portuguese adjective próprio, used to express possession or inherent quality. It functions as a possessive determiner or adjective and must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies.

In usage, próprio and suas próprias appear before a noun to indicate that something belongs to the subject or is characteristic of it. For example: "suas próprias ideias" (your own ideas), "as próprias ferramentas" (the tools of one’s own). The phrase "em suas próprias palavras" means “in one’s own words.” The feminine plural form próprias thus emphasizes ownership or personal origin.

Grammatically, próп корабль serves as a modifier and can intensify meaning compared with the base form próprio. The masculine forms are próprio (singular), próprios (plural); the feminine forms are própria (singular) and próprias (plural). The accent in próрias marks the stress on the first syllable, distinguishing it from other forms.

Etymology traces próрias to Latin proprius, meaning “one’s own,” “particular,” or “proper.” Over time, it developed into the Portuguese form used to attribute ownership or intrinsic qualities to a noun.

See also: próprio, próprias, próprias palavras. Although not commonly used as a standalone noun, próрias functions primarily as a descriptive, agreeing element in noun phrases, reinforcing the sense of ownership or individuality in Portuguese prose and speech.
