    How would one say plural-possessive sisters in norwegian? My sisters' bedroom (as in my other sisters have that room)

    Just add an 's' to the plural form of the word, which is 'søstre(r)': "Mine søstre(r)s soverom."

        Shouldnt that be "mitt søsters" ? Room seems to be neutral gender.

          The min goes with søster, not rom. My sister, not my room.

            I would say, "Det største soverommet er søsteren mins".

            Tagging a genitive-s onto a possessive is not allowed in Bokmål.
