"Slipsen är hans."

Translation: The tie is his.

[Hacu.]

"The tie is Hans." - meaning its name is Hans.
I can't be the only one with this association..? :DD

Though I know very well that "hans" is a masc. possessive pronoun and can translate it correctly, still in my mind I pretty much always hear the name and it can be tad amusing time to time. ;)

[RocksintheLake]

It is: en slips, slipsen, slipsar, slipsarna. Am i right?

[sotnosen93]

You are right!

[AliBalador]

"Slipsen är honom" is not correct? why hans? what is the translation in english?

[Nico386305]

I guess your suggestion would in English be "The tie is him".

Here you are looking for a possessive pronoun.

[IngJoRu]

"It is his tie"
the same thing....dont you think?

[Arnauti]

I just think that is Det är hans slips in Swedish.

[Nico386305]

Slipsen = the tie

That's why you have to use a definite article in the translation. The rest results out of the consequences of that.

[AnaMihail1]

can you say slipsen ar sin also?

[Arnauti]

No, sin always points back to the subject in the same clause. Here, the subject is the tie, so that would be like saying "the tie is its" in English.

[Charles697505]

Old terminology is "necktie" how would one say that in Swedish?

[Edinfabio]

Commonly, could we not say "the tie belongs to him?"

[Arnauti]

Sure, but that would be slipsen tillhör honom in Swedish.

[Edinfabio]

Tack Arnauti. Your language list is impressive

[ulimew]

I would always say: the tie belongs to him

[sotnosen93]

As Arnauti has already mentioned, that would be "Slipsen tillhör honom." If you don't already do so, please read through the entire comment section before posting to make sure what you're about to say hasn't already been answered.
