He’s driving his car. No, his car! Posted by Stephen Maconi on Feb 21, 2011 in Grammar, Swedish Language
Today’s video is about singular personal possessive pronouns in Swedish – that is to say, using words such as my, your, his, and her. It’s a little more complicated in Swedish than in English, so I hope you find this video useful!
As a side note, thank you for your helpful ideas you have left in comments on my previous posts. I may not have used them yet, but they will come in handy in the future!
Vi ses snart!

Another awesome video, they are extremely helpful. Although I may have missed it (will have to go back and check)…I noticed you used Hans/Hennes. I am curious what the difference is between using Hennes and Hon? Is it only changed due to the s? Tusen tack! 😀

Thanks for doing these video lessons! They are just perfect for me to use to review what I know, what I think I might know, and what I hope to know! Tack så jätte mycket!

LOVE your videos! They have helped me so much. I am learning on my own through a software program, which is great, but sometimes I need the validation that I’m right.
I don’t know if you’ve had a video on this because I just subscribed to swedish blog not long ago but I have a question:
Is there anyway to tell which words are en words and which words are ett words? My huge dictionary doesn’t give that information.
Thanks again for the videos!

Wow! I was just trying to puzzle this very thing out in my lesson today. This is so helpful. Your videos are always so clear and concise. Please keep them coming.
My suggestion for a future topic is prepositions, especially when dealing with time. For example, He waited *for* two hours or I play tennis *on* Tuesday (meaning every Tuesday). I find the Swedish equivalents difficult to remember.
Thanks again for the blog and the videos.

Jag håller med Nikki, prepositioner är svara. D:
