"Hon visade mig sin moderna klocka."

Translation: She showed me her modern watch.

Why is it "moderna" instead of "modern" isn't "klocka" indefinite singular?

[Lundgren8]

Because you have to have the definite form of adjectives after possessives like sin.

So how can I say the actual plural "modern clocks" in this particular sentence?

[Lundgren8]

sina moderna klockor :)

[signal_smoke]

that's amazing! Tack tack Lund!

[MattBush2]

This probably would have been better asked when covering the material for 'klocka' long ago, but do Swedes really normally use the same word for both clock and wristwatch?

[Lundgren8]

Yes, we do.

[MattBush2]

Tack. I just wanted to be sure that it wasn't an over-simplification that might make a native speaker look at me funny. :)

[KiwiDressager]

Thanks for asking this... I had wondered the same thing!

[dr.zZzZ]

she's such a show off ..

Why was clock not acceptable?

[LadySeabrooke]

Nice watch. I'm going to break it so you can never tell time again. Your face, that is.
