Quick Q, what does "sus" mean? It says sus hijos.
Google translator said it meant "its", but that can't be right.

sus is NOT your
your kids = tus hijos (informal)
unless it is in the formal form = usted
otherwise it means
his/her/their kids/sons/children = sus hijos

Refugiotrans has the best and most complete answer!
"Sus hijos" can even mean all those possessive adjectives (his, her, your, their, etc. etc.) "sons AND daughters," as well as "children" or simply "sons."
In Spanish, MANY expressions need to be defined by the whole context in which they are used.

It has many uses... depending how you use the word. But it mainly means " her or his" Like if you are saying.
spanish "sus hijos de ella, son bien amables"
English- her (sus) kids are very kind. "
So as you see... sus can mean (her or his... ) depending on the sex of the person you are talking about.

"sus" is a possession adjective, meaning, depending on the context, any of the following: his, her, your, their. "sus hijos", therefore, may mean "his kids", "her kids", "your kids" or "their kids". i'm sure you'll be able to choose the right alternative between these four.

"sus hijos" can also be written as "!Sus, hijos!", in which case it means "Hurry, children!" or "Cheer up, children!"
I know, long shot, but for the sake of being complete ...

it's the plural form of ''your'', as in ''belonging to you.'' like... sus manos= your hands... sus hijos= your sons/ children, if the gender is unknown... and so on and so forth...

You are absolutely right, it does not meant "its".
the translation is "your" hijos, can be taken as Plural for
children or maybe just boys or sons.....
hope this helped.....
