"Her clothes are dirty."

Translation: Hennes kläder är smutsiga.

[Yamese4]

whats the difference between smutsig and smutsiga?

[devalanteriel]

The first one is singular (common gender) and the second is plural (both genders).

[HuShifang]

Is there a reason why the gender-neutral pronoun "sin" can't be used here? (Even if it's somewhat less precise?)

[Arnauti]

Yes, the subject must be present in the phrase for sin to be used, and hon is not in the sentence here.

[HuShifang]

Got it - thanks!

[Toymao]

Why is it "hennes kläder" and not "henna kläderna" if it's "her clotheS"? Is it because it's a singular word in Swedish? Or did I get this plural thing all wrong?

[sboy2]

Kläder = clothes, kläderna = the clothes
