Why is it not gen for possesion

[Jellei]

That's just a noun phrase. OK, possession needs Genitive, but you took it too far. If something belonged to your dog (e.g. a bowl), it would be "miska mojego psa", putting your dog in Genitive.

If someone just mentioned your dog, with your name being Aidan, it would be "pies Aidana".

Thank you!

Why "mine" is the wrong answer?

[Jellei]

It's just a noun phrase, so it's "my dog". You can use "mine" in "This dog is mine" or "This is a dog of mine", but not here.

It does not feel right when you hear this sentence. At all.

[Polskana]

same, she pronounces it wrong. More like 'piesy' instead of normal pronouncation.

Why not 'nasz pies'?
Is it because it's referring to a singular?

[Jellei]

The phrase here is "my dog", and "nasz pies" means "our dog".

[jestem_A]

Is "mój" pronounced like "moj" or "muj"? It sounds like something in between.
