The answer "Det är mitt paraply" was also accepted. What difference does the "där" make in this sentence?

    Why are "Det där är mitt paraply" and "Det där är min paraply" both solutions? shouldn't only "mitt" be a solution because it's "ett paraply"?

      It’s normally ett paraply but some dialects say en paraply, that’s why it’s accepted.

          Why don't you say den instead of det if you use paraply as an en-word?

            And are there any more words what can be en or ett words as well?

              Why is "detta är mitt paraply" wrong?

                Because detta means "this".
