Spanish: An Essential Grammar

(avery) #1
en contra suya = en contra de against him/her etc.
él/ella etc.
en torno suyo = en torno de all around him/her etc.
él/ella etc.
This is a feature of popular speech in the Iberian Peninsula and of wide-
spread use in Latin America but, perhaps with the exception of en torno,
it is frowned upon by some native speakers. It is perhaps best avoided in
the initial stages by foreign learners, in favour of the construction with
de + prepositional object pronoun.
