"It is your child."

Translation: Det är ditt barn.

[flirtingdeath]

What's the difference between ditt/din and ert/er? It doesn't look like singular/plural because I recall using both on both.

[Norwalk79]

It is, actually. Din/ditt is referred to you (one person). Er/ert to you-all (more persons).

[DesignByAdrian]

"It is your child" can be translated into both "det är ditt barn" and "det är ert barn", depending on if "your" implies one person or more.

[MaryBeth378619]

The question had given the choices of "ditt" and "ert", so you couldn't go wrong with either choice because the English sentence doesn't indicate plural or singular for "your".

But the kid is not my son

[SpaceDandy_Meow]

You are the father!

[MaryBeth378619]

Oh, I found your other glove.

[Richard160051]

Im so happy to open the comments and so often other learners have the same question I do.

[Ryzhaze]

Ditt, dina ert, er these are really throwing me there seems to be so many different ways to say the same thing

[Angela1279]

So is this one just confusing ? What in the English implies you're talking to a plural your?

[Angela1279]

Never mind. I missed the Har. I was so focused on where I'm struggling.

[JanieMuell]

Please isn't there some kind of process for figuring out which pronoun to use?

[SariahLily]

See: https://www.duolingo.com/skill/sv/Possessives/tips-and-notes

[osamamisma]

What's the difference between ditt, din, dina ? When to use each one ?

[SariahLily]

Use ditt with ett words.

Use din with en words.

Use dina when the noun is plural. ("dina barn" would be "your children")

[Leif-och-Billy]

Why ert is wrong here ? It is a duolingo mistake ?

[DemaNtura]

Why can it not be "Det är sitt barn"?

[SariahLily]

I believe that would mean "It is his/her/their child," not "your child."

According to the tips page, sin/sitt/sina replace “hans”, “hennes” “dess” and “deras” if the subject is the “owner”.

They don't replace ditt or ert.

[AnastasiaH47910]

when do i use din and when do i use ditt? please help

[abbie_wolf03]

How do you know when to use ditt or din? I know that dina is used for plurals but what's the difference here?

[SariahLily]

You use ditt for ett words, and din for en words.

[Malk.A]

YOU ARE THE FATHER!

[smb70]

Why is there no explanation for which word to use din/ditt when they are introduced, your are supposed to guess until you figure out the rules? This is not the first time this has happened, perhaps a link to an explanation when words like that are introduced would be helpful for learners?

[SariahLily]

I find the Memrise course immensely helpful for this. It includes ett or en for every noun. https://app.memrise.com/course/462533/duolingo-swedish-10/

The vocabulary is offered in the same order as it is on Duolingo. I like to stay just a little ahead on Memrise.

Though, I do think the drop-down hints (on Duo) usually have the correct form listed on top, for this course.

[PyroRenegade]

Lmao that feeling when duolingo doesnt give you ert and only er and they mark it half wrong because of their own mistake. Smh
