Possessive pronouns in Swedish are used to show ownership or possession. They agree in gender and number with the noun they modify. Here are the possessive pronouns in Swedish:

  1. Min (singular) / Vår (plural) – My / Our Examples:
    • Min bok är blå. (My book is blue.)
    • Vår familj äter middag tillsammans. (Our family eats dinner together.)
  2. Din (singular) / Er (plural) – Your / Your (formal or plural) Examples:
    • Din hund är söt. (Your dog is cute.)
    • Er bil är stor. (Your car is big.)
  3. Hans (singular) / Hennes (singular) / Deras (plural) – His / Her / Their Examples:
    • Hans cykel är röd. (His bike is red.)
    • Hennes hus är vackert. (Her house is beautiful.)
    • Deras barn går i skolan. (Their children go to school.)
  4. Sin (singular) / Sitt (neuter singular) / Sina (plural) – One’s / Its / Their own (Note: These pronouns refer back to the subject of the sentence.) Examples:
    • Han läser sin bok. (He is reading his own book.)
    • Katten tvättar sitt ansikte. (The cat is washing its face.)
    • De äter sina äpplen. (They are eating their own apples.)

It’s important to note that possessive pronouns in Swedish agree with the noun they modify, not with the person who possesses the item. Also, possessive pronouns can be used without a noun, in which case they function as standalone pronouns.
