"Pojkens smörgås"

Translation: The boy's sandwich

[JosVictorA7]

Can I use the "s" in any name form? For example: pojkes, pojkens, pojkars and pojkarnas

[devalanteriel]

Generally, yes, as long as the word doesn't already end in an s. :)

[deactivated user]

Does "a boy's sandwich" translate as "en pojkes smörgås"?

[DesignByAdrian]

Yes, it does!

[eirened]

So the -s- ending can be used in every word to show the possession?
for example: "Kattens apelsin", "Hundens ost" and "Kvinnas barn", "Mans jordgubbe"?
What about the words that end in -s?

[devalanteriel]

Yes, with only a few mostly archaic exceptions. If it already ends in an s, you don't need to do anything. If it ends in an s and it's really, really ambiguous, you can write s' instead - but it's strongly recommended that you rewrite the sentence to make it less ambiguous rather than that.

So what is "the boys' "?

[Lundgren8]

Pojkarnas.

the boys sandwich
wha is tthe problem

[devalanteriel]

There's a difference between boys, boy's, and boys'.

[NaomiPiisces]

"Pojkens smörgås" means the boy's sandwich. But what if I want to say "the boy's sandwiches". Does it become "Pojkens smörgåsar" or do I have to change "pojkens" aswell?
Does "pojkens" change if I'm talking about "the boy's sandwich" or "the boy's sandwiches"?

[devalanteriel]

Correct, that's pojkens smörgåsar - the boy doesn't change. :)

In my last lesson, using the computer, when i press the button to repeat the words It automatically says correct and I haven't even begin to speak . It is something with the program or my computer?
