Say my, your, his, her, our and their in everyday situations.
Grammar pathway — a separate, structured course that complements the practical Everyday Swedish lessons. Work through the lessons in order, or use the lesson menu to revisit a topic.
Possessive words help you talk about family, belongings, work and everyday plans. Swedish forms such as <em>min</em>, <em>mitt</em> and <em>mina</em> agree with the noun that follows.
Use min with many en-nouns, mitt with ett-nouns and mina with plural nouns: min bil, mitt hus, mina böcker.
Read the Swedish sentence first, then check the English meaning.
| Swedish | English |
|---|---|
| min telefon | my phone |
| mitt barn | my child |
| mina vänner | my friends |
| din lägenhet | your apartment |
| vårt hem | our home |
| hennes jobb | her job |
The form depends on the thing owned, not the person who owns it. Compare min bok and mitt hus.
