"Manden har jeres hund."

Translation: The man has your dog.

[JBranch1998]

"The man has y'all's dog." should be accepted.

There are two options marked as plural: your and yours.

[Xneb]

Jeres hund: Your dog
Hunden er jeres: The dog is yours
Danish uses the same word for the two, the singular would be:
Din hund: Your dog
Hunden er din: The dog is yours

[RylieMcdon]

So jeres would be like saying " The dog is y'alls" and "Y'alls dog" versus "The dog is yours" (One person's ownership)
Forgive my southern 'you all'.

[Xneb]

That's exactly it! I also tried to associate it with the Southern US "y'all" when learning I (and associated pronouns)

I'm glad I just stumbled across this comment.. Giving you a lingot right this moment. I've always wondered myself about using y'all in Danish... (Even been wondering about it in German lately as well..) This makes it a lot easier to understand now.

Thanks Xneb :) & Rylie for even asking it in the first place! ^-^

[RylieMcdon]

Awesome, thank you. (:

I get the difference in danish- but how are we to know in this circumstance if it is "y'all" or singular. The speaker may be talking to someONE who owns a dog...I realize in real-life context we would know lol...

[Schplif]

Once you said y'all it started making sense. I just didnt get jeres. But NOW I DO!!!

[KathyKarch]

I also just gave you a lingot for this. SOOOO helpful. Now I get it.

[Ombrage2]

In that case, wouldn't it be easier to learn danish as a french speaker than as an english speaker?

[Ganguro]

Thank you!

[Andreea99ec]

"dine" wasn't also the plural form for your/yours?

[Snikrdoodls]

I believe "dine" refers to the singular of your for multiple things. Like "dine æbler" your apples.

What's the difference between deres and jeres?
