"Hon älskar henne."

Translation: She loves her.

[HoodieSpirit]

I definitely love the sentence.

[Aakash.Saikia]

... and Lesbihonest, that's really cool

[arkananas]

I can't believe duolingo said lesbian representation

[devalanteriel]

It doesn't even have to be lesbian... but I'm glad your horizons are being widened.

[ryry_oshi]

There are more homosexual couples than straight ones here in this course from what i've seen already

[beagoodone]

means she loves herself? or A loves B?

[Lundgren8]

It means A loves B. Otherwise it would have been ”Hon älskar sig själv”.

[beagoodone]

tack! själv seems to equal 'self' in english

[Kaknothere1]

Thanks I didnt know that själlv means herself

[devalanteriel]

själv means "self" - so sig själv means "herself / himself / itself".

[NRizel]

It means a girl loves another girl.. or person with same gender. This case is also for he likes him. Got it?

[urgayauntie]

I feel so loved rn❤️

How do I differentiate between hon and han? How do they sound different?

[Talentless1]

You can try to remember "hon" and "han" like:

hOn - wOman
hAn - mAn

And as for how they sound different, try using the example for differentiating them when using a sentence.

In other words, when talking, try to pronounce the "o" in "hon" like the "o" in "woman", and the "a" in "han" like the "a" in "man".

((Hope this could help! ^o^))

[TahirMehdi]

I did it that way - Han Solo is a man. So han means he.

[AnniTheCurious]

If you are German: hon sounds a bit like Huhn, han like Hahn.

[OhHeyShesReal]

Purely a vowel difference. Kind of like the enunciation of awe-n and on.

[Noskara]

What is the difference between henne and hennes?

[OhBogy]

Henne = her
Hennes = her's (owning something)

[vZpwHkjv]

This applies to all kinds of relationships; romantic, family, friends, pets.
This also applies to non humans:
For example "Hon" could be a female dog who loves its female owner "henne", or the other way around. Or a female animal loving another female animal

[DrAorta]

Absolutely true, but also I'm choosing to believe it means gay rights right now lmao <3

[Emil451576]

Is this common in swedish? In english it would usually be changed to "(name) loves him/her" to avoid any possible confusion.

[LadySeabrooke]

Well, saying something like "she loves her" makes sense if, say, the previous sentence said something about the two. Like "Alice wants to marry Katy. She loves her"

[_bowtie_bovine]

No. Think of it as Duolingo trying to teach you pronouns, not names.

[Ella227254]

Whats the difference between henne and hon? Or honom and han?

[devalanteriel]

• hon = she
• henne = her (object form)
• hennes = her (possessive form)
• han = he
• honom = him
• hans = his
