You guys have surely wondered about these pronouns and when to use them. Now you should know by this time that approx. 80% of the Swedish nouns have “en” and 20% “ett” article. Sometimes you just want to spare some time and don\u00b4t want to repeat yourself. Think about it! How would it be if we would say Sarah all the time instead of saying “she”. Boring and confusing. For those kind of variations we have different pronouns such as Personal, Objective,\u00a0Demonstarative and Determinative ones.<\/p>\n
Personal function<\/p>\n
1. I bought a car<\/strong> yesterday. It<\/strong>\u00b4s green.\u00a0 Jag k\u00f6pte en bil<\/strong> ig\u00e5r. Den<\/strong>\u00a0\u00e4r gr\u00f6n.<\/p>\n 2.\u00a0The Andersson family have built a house<\/strong>. It<\/strong>\u00b4s high.\u00a0 Familjen Andersson\u00a0har byggt ett hus<\/strong>. Det<\/strong> \u00e4r h\u00f6gt.<\/p>\n 3. I ate some cinemon buns<\/strong> yesterday. They<\/strong> were good. Jag \u00e5t n\u00e5gra kanelbullar<\/strong> ig\u00e5r. De\/Dom<\/strong> var goda.<\/p>\n (Note that there are two forms, it doesn\u00b4t matter which one you use just be consistent, I have to add though that the”De” form is still the most common, but younger generation writes dom instead of de)<\/p>\n Demonstarative function<\/p>\n Det bordet<\/strong> k\u00f6per jag men inte den stolen<\/strong>. I buy that table<\/strong> but not that chair<\/strong>.<\/p>\n De fiskpinnarna<\/strong> \u00e4r frysta. Vi ska tina dem<\/strong>. Those fishsticks are forzen. We will unfreeze them<\/strong>.<\/p>\n (Note that dem<\/em> is the object in the sentence so it is the objective form of de<\/em>, it is quite common that dem<\/em> comes in the end of a sentence – this could be a trick to follow to remember. But of course there can be reversed sentences as well\u00a0in Swedish when it comes to syntax so the best way to figure it out is to look for the subject in a sentence first and after you have found it you can look for the object. If the object happens to be de <\/em>then the correct way to spell is dem. <\/em>For instance: De ser dem. – They see them.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" … Continue Reading<\/p>","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"content-type":""},"categories":[6,1],"tags":[13469,34689,34686,34687,236330,3446],"class_list":["post-5976","post","type-post","status-publish","hentry","category-grammar","category-uncategorized","tag-de","tag-dem","tag-den","tag-det","tag-dom","tag-swedish"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t\n\t\t
