Easy to mix with look-alikes
The spelling risk for sua is neighbouring look-alikes ("SW", "sus", …), not just typos; it is anadjective. Frequency #32 among 1,185 “S” headwords. Gloss: "que tem você como objeto".
sua doesn't appear in our generated misspelling index, since its letter sequence doesn't invite the usual edit-distance slips. It also participates in 20 confusable-pair relationships, "SW", "sus", "sun", and more, a pairing that trips writers up because the two words share enough sound or shape to blur together.
Our source data has no etymology on file for this entry, so spelling patterns must be inferred from the word's phoneme-to-grapheme mapping rather than from a documented borrowing chain. The correct Portuguese form is sua, spelled S-U-A.
