"My uncle has several sons."

Translation: Min morbror har flera söner.

[Kathryn784479]

Farbror still comes up as incorrect, though a moderator said this was acceptable three years ago. Can we get this fixed? And the other similar items in this unit?

[iBrow.]

It was accepted for me

[devalanteriel]

It's accepted as an equal default, though. There's really nothing more we can do about it.

[kthorup]

Might as well be farbror?

[Lundgren8]

Yes, both are accepted.

[Nelightful]

It marked farbror as incorrect

[iBrow.]

That was either a bug or you made some other mistake. You must always provide the complete sentence.

[SarahGarnerAR]

I know this is not subject to this lesson, but what is the difference between Min and Mina? I must not have retained that like I needed.

[devalanteriel]

• min for singular en-words: _min morbror = my uncle
• mitt for singular ett-words: mitt bord = my table
• mina for plurals: mina öron = my ears

[LiesLas]

Farbror or morbror how can i see the difference? Farbror is wrong in this sentence??

[EstebanGue11]

Could it be only "Farbror/morbror har flera söner"?. Just read in another exercise that possessives are not that common when it comes to relatives in swedish

[devalanteriel]

Not really, that doesn't work well.

[25carpe]

Why does "farbor min" not work?

[devalanteriel]

Swedish always places the possessive before the noun.

[HBapt26]

Is fabror for fathers brother?

[devalanteriel]

It is indeed. And moster/faster is for mother's/father's sister.
