"Mitt" is used for "ett" words. "Mina" is used for plural words Min katten = My cat Mitt saltet = My salt Mina hundarna = My dogs
I might be late, but you mustn't use the definite form after an adjective
Re-recording
The voice is not quite perfect on this sentence, as of May 10th, 2018, so I've taken the liberty of re-recording it.
In this case, the error isn't huge. But tycker om is a so-called particle verb in Swedish, meaning that it's one verb consisting of multiple words. If you leave either word out, the meaning usually changes completely. And hence, stressing the right word is important. Almost always, this means putting the stress on the particle - the om, in this case. The automatically generated voice has a tendency to put the stress on tycker instead, which is never correct.

Thanks for listening. Ha en bra dag! :)
It accepts if i put "gillar" instead of "tycker om" which one is the correct phrase because it has been confusing me
”Min” means both ”my” and ”mine”.
- Min katt är svart. (My cat is black.)
- Den svarta katten är min. (The black cat is mine.)
Do you know the difference between min and mitt ?? Also... What is the right way to use them ? Tack !
It depends on the gender of the word. If it’s of common gender (i.e. en katt) you use min, if it’s of neuter gender (ett bord) you use mitt. This gender division is seen through out the language and how words are treated, so keep an eye out and learn the gender of the word.
