Första och andra person singular: jag, du
First and second person singular: I, you
📌 Grammatiknotering
In Swedish, 'jag' means 'I' (never capitalized inside a sentence) and 'du' is the standard singular 'you' used in almost all everyday and professional contexts.
Exempel
Tredje person singular (personer): han, hon, hen
Third person singular (people): he, she, they (gender-neutral)
📌 Grammatiknotering
'Han' (he) and 'hon' (she) refer to male and female people. 'Hen' is an official gender-neutral third-person singular pronoun used when gender is unknown, irrelevant, or non-binary.
Exempel
Tredje person singular (sakord): den, det
Third person singular (things/animals): it (en-words vs ett-words)
📌 Grammatiknotering
Swedish has two words for 'it': 'den' replaces singular en-words (common gender), while 'det' replaces singular ett-words (neuter gender).
Exempel
Personliga pronomen i plural: vi, ni, de
Plural personal pronouns: we, you (plural), they
📌 Grammatiknotering
'Vi' means 'we', 'ni' means 'you (plural)' (or very formal singular), and 'de' means 'they'. Note that both 'de' (they) and 'dem' (them) are pronounced 'dom' in spoken Swedish.
Exempel
Obestämt pronomen: man
General/impersonal pronoun: one, you, people
📌 Grammatiknotering
'Man' is used for general statements about people in general, where English often uses general 'you', 'one', or 'people'.
Exempel
Objektsform i grunddrag: mig, dig, honom, henne
Basic singular object pronouns: me, you, him, her
📌 Grammatiknotering
When a pronoun is the object of a verb or follows a preposition, it changes form: jag -> mig [mej], du -> dig [dej], han -> honom, hon -> henne, hen -> hen.
Exempel
Objektsform i plural: oss, er, dem
Plural object pronouns: us, you (plural), them
📌 Grammatiknotering
In the plural, vi -> oss, ni -> er, and de -> dem (pronounced 'dom'). 'Den' and 'det' remain unchanged as objects.
Exempel
Reflexivt possessivt pronomen: sin, sitt, sina
Reflexive possessive: his/her/their/one's own
📌 Grammatiknotering
'Sin' (en-words), 'sitt' (ett-words), and 'sina' (plural) refer back to the third-person subject of the same clause (han, hon, hen, den, det, man, de).
Exempel
Böjning av sin efter det ägda ordet
Agreement of sin / sitt / sina with the possessed noun
📌 Grammatiknotering
Unlike English 'his/her', 'sin/sitt/sina' agrees in gender and number with the thing owned, NOT with the owner.
Exempel
Kontrast: hans, hennes, deras vs. sin, sitt, sina
Non-reflexive vs. reflexive third-person possessives
📌 Grammatiknotering
Use 'hans', 'hennes', 'hens', 'dess', or 'deras' when the owner is NOT the subject of that clause, or when the possessive is part of the subject itself.
