In this episode we'll look at when to use the "sin" concept, and how to find the right ending.
1. The endings follow the object they belong to;
Han legger sønnen sin.
Han er på øya si.
Han vasker huset sitt.
Han mister nøklene sine.
2. The condition for using "sin" is as follows:
"If the subject is in the 3. person (he,she,they), and the object belongs to the subject, replace hans/hennes/deres with sin/si/sittt/sine! :)
3. The two most common "traps" are;
- be sure what the subject is
- with subclauses; find subject and object again
FIll-ins:
Han reiser på tur med kona …….. (his own).
Han og kona ……. (his own) reiser på tur sammen.
Han sier at kona ……. er hjemme i dag.
..
This might be the hardest item in the grammar - but once the subject/object part is more clear, everything becomes more easy!
And,
Great work!! :D
