No Apostrophes

Never use an apostrophe in Swedish. It is always 'Marias', never 'Maria's'.

Review Summary

  • min/mitt/mina + noun
  • Noun + s
  • N/A
  • Pronoun + Noun + s

Erros comuns

You confused the gender rule. Remember: 'min' for en-words and 'mitt' for ett-words.

Wrong: Min bil är en-word, så jag säger mitt bil.
Correto: Min bil är en-word, så jag säger min bil.

You don't need to repeat the noun. Use the possessive pronoun directly with the genitive noun.

Wrong: Det är mammas bok, min mammas.
Correto: Det är min mammas bok.

You forgot the possessive pronoun! Even with genitives, you should specify the owner with a pronoun.

Wrong: Det är brors bil.
Correto: Det är min brors bil.

Perguntas comuns (6)

You add 't' when the noun is an 'ett-word'. It's a way to make the possessive agree with the noun.
No, that's incorrect. You use either 'min bil' or 'bilen'.
No, never. Swedish does not use apostrophes for possession.
If a name ends in s, you can either add nothing or an extra s, but usually, it's just the name itself.
Because 'barn' is an 'ett' word.
Yes, it is correct.
