HidePossessive pronouns list
Swedish possessive pronouns are a little bit more complicated since Swedish also has gender. Almost all possessive pronouns come in three froms, en-word, ett-words and plural words. For now let's have a look at the singular forms.
Singular form
| en-form | ett-form | en-form | ett-form | ||
| My | min | mitt | Our | vår | vårt |
| Your | din | ditt | your | er | ert |
| His | hans | hans | their | deras | deras |
| Her | hennes | hennes |
In Swedish, it's a bit more involved than that, simply because the Swedish language has nouns that are divided into "en" and "ett". Since most pronouns act the same as adjectives, the are treated like them. Also, most of them get the “t” ending when accompanying “ett” nouns and “a” ending for plural nouns.
Take a look at these short example;
min bil – my car
mitt hus – my house
mina skor – my shoes
min bil – my car
mitt hus – my house
mina skor – my shoes
Important Note! that these pronouns can also mean ''mine, yours, his, hers, ours and 'theirs''.
- Hon bor i mitt hus (she lives in my house)
- har du din bil (do you have your house)
- vars kaka är det? den är min (who's cake is that ? it's mine)

Swedish possessive pronoun rule; Min, mitt, mina
Why do we say "mitt brev" (my letter), but "min examen" (my exam) and "mina intressen" (my interests?). The reason behind it is that possessive pronouns agree with the nouns that they belong to, they have the following forms.
| Singular | Plural | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| (en-words) | (ett-words) | ||
| ex: | en mamma | ett lexikon | kompisar |
| (jag) | min mamma | mitt lexikon | mina kompisar |
| (du) | din mamma | ditt lexikon | dina kompisar |
| (han) | hans mamma | hans lexikon | hans kompisar |
| (hon) | hennes mamma | hennes lexikon | hennes kompisar |
| (den, det) | (dess) | (dess) | (dess) |
| (vi) | vår mamma | vårt lexikon | våra kompisar |
| (ni) | er mamma | ert lexikon | era lexikon |
| (de) | deras mamma | deras lexikon | deras lexikon |

Hello!
My name is Nora and I am born and raised in Sweden and have lived most of my life within Sweden. I love cats and my interests are reading books, swimming and travelling.
I have a bachelor in social work and have worked in both Swedish and English speaking environments. For instance as a school counselor in an English speaking high school and as an English teacher in Cape Town in South Africa for kids.
I am studying Spanish myself at the moment and I know how hard it can be in the beginning with a new language. I also know how much fun it can be when you start to actually be able to communicate in your new language. I believe every new language you learn is going to expand your way of thinking and make you grow!
I can offer both teaching for absolute beginners in Swedish, but also if you want to develop the language skills you already have. I offer a free trial lesson.
If you want to know more about me or the learning process, feel free to contact me!
Have a nice day!

Hello my name is Lucia and I am a native Italian speaker.
I have a degree as an interpreter for English and French so I know how hard it may be to learn a foreign language. I work as a free-lance interpreter and private English and French teacher. I have a strong passion for languages which I have been studying for many years. I am studying Spanish now and always trying to improve my English and French knowledge. I am a friendly person and my lessons mainly focus on conversation. As a teacher I am very patient and I always propose tailor-made lessons with respect to your needs. I am really enthusiastic about being a teacher because this activity allows you to share your culture and habits with foreign people. Learning a language is also learning a new culture.
N. .
Lucia is a very engaging and sympathetic teacher. And although we have only done a couple of lessons we are feeling much more confident about the possibility of being able to converse in Italian. Thank you Lucia!

All of his lessons are taught exclusively in Spanish in order to train the listening skills of his students. However, if you don't understand something, he will be happy to explain it in English or Portuguese. By using a variety of online sites and learning methods, Rodrigo's lessons are dynamic and diverse, so you'll never get bored.

My name is Debi and I’m from Germany. I am an A1 to C2 level German teacher and have 5 years of teaching experience.
During my studies of educational science, I gave individual tutoring and helped students to catch up on their learning as well as to improve their performance results.
Furthermore, I offered German language courses to adults of various educational and professional backgrounds and helped them to achieve their desired learning goals. Many of my students started as beginners and were able to reach C1 level in less than 12 months.
The students gave me as feedback that I can convey knowledge content well and understandably.
For this reason, I want to help you to increase your level of German in a very short time.
Teaching materials:
• Deutsch Hören & Sprechen
• Grammatik & Wortschatz
• Worksheets
My lessons:
My teaching style is a mix of direct learning and task-based learning.
In my lessons, you are encouraged to always speak, so that you can learn the language naturally. If you make mistakes, I will gently correct you. From time to time, you will be able to improve your German-speaking skills. You will also be asked to write short essays about a certain topic or a special event in your life. This can be done as homework or during the lessons, if there is still some time left for it.
Furthermore, you will complete a variety of image and video-based assignments which will help you to acquire new structures, forms, and vocabulary in German.

Hello and welcome!
I would love to help you improving your Danish speaking skills. I have been a teacher at coLanguage for more than three years now, but as a teacher in `the language music´ I have been working for several years. I have 25 years of experience as an organist in a church. I teach choirs for children and adults and I have been a piano teacher. I feel that my experience in teaching choirs and pianostudents and playing music is very fruitful for the way that I teach Danish. I have followed an intensive online Dutch course and as a student I think it works out very well. You are making progress very fast, because you speak a lot, and the teacher can take your speaking level as your starting point. I look forward getting to know you in a free trial lesson and to hear something about your wishes and your goals for studying the Danish language!
Best regards,
Tove
S. H.
About 4 months ago I started taking lessons with Tove, and started from absolute scratch, I didn't know a single danish word. Now through the helpful and "hyggelig" lessons, I have reached the point where I can understand quite a bit of danish and have a simple conversation. We have little conversations at the start of every lesson and I really notice my danish slowly improving and being able to understand more and more of Tove's danish. Tove is really a lovely person, with whom you can always have a laugh and is clearly very enthusiastic about teaching danish, I love that. For instance, she made me custom lytteøvelse (listening excersises) multiple times about just the things I like. She is very patient and, like someone already mentioned, focusses on the difficult aspects of the danish language, which for me is definitely the pronunciation. She doesn't mind explaining things multiple times if i forgot or if i didn't understand it the first time. Så Tove, mange tak for dine lektioner. I'm looking forward to the next one.

German was my key to the world of possibilities and that's why I want to support you on your language path. German was my main focus in my bachelor's degree in Interpreting and Translation and then I completed my master's degree in intercultural German Studies and German as a Foreign Language. My additional education as an Intercultural Trainer and my practical experience from several international language institutes add value to my German lessons that you can benefit from: Only your focus decides - preparation for a language exam or studies, help with various documents and written works or your wish to improve your German in a communicative way. I would very much like to get to know you in a free trial lesson, so that we can discuss your wishes and requirements and prepare the lessons so that they bring you closer to your goal. And all of this from an intercultural perspective and with my personal experience, because I know your own perspective as well as the challenges that language learning brings with it. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Veronika is a very well prepared young teacher, friendly and professional. Her teaching method adapted perfectly to my needs and requirements. Through conversation lessons she helped me gain confidence in my spoken German. I highly recommend her for new starters as well as for students who already have some basic knowledge of German.

Lithuanian language is one of the Baltic countries languages. Some people are travelling to Lithuania, some of them are working or studying over there. So it's really good to know how to say very simple words, as hello, how are you, good mornng, thank you, you're welcome, where, how and etc. It's necessary because the main language is Lithuanian in that country
I am lithuanian and was learning other languages. So I can understand you very well, how do you feel in foreign country without language. You want to say something, ask or express yourself, but you can't. I would like to teach you. I like helping people and I have almost 10 years experience in teaching with different age people from different countries and culturies. I think so, that we will spent very good time. Don't worry about nothing. The best thing is your desire. We have don't forget just be patiece. When we are sowing, we think about future, because in few months we can see results of our work. That helps us work little by little.
I would like to offer you lessons for beggners. In these lessons you will learn how to pronounce words, how to read. Also you will learn basic words and phrases and how to talk with another person in dialogue.
B. G.
I knew a few words Lithuanian, so during our introduction Salomeja asked me several questions. A week later we started the first lection. Very professional and skilled this teacher, she learns you the basic Grammar (which you need to understand) and finally i know the meaning of some endings ;-) Not finished with lessons, so next year i will see my teacher again.
