If guy A says to guy B...."Sus padres son malos"....guy A its talking about the parents of guy B....but!!! if he points to guy C then, he is talking about the C guy`s parents heheh....
(Sus is a "polite" form of yours, which you dont have in english, this one can also be changed to TUS the informal form for defining someones posetions or relatives in this case)
TUS PADRES SON MALOS...this one can only be directed from guy A to guy B...its direct!!....
