"Hans föräldrar är rika."

Translation: His parents are rich.

[agentjs]

I have ugly parents, and he has rich parents? haha

[AnFeileacan78]

Am I right in thinking the "a" in "hans" is pronounced differently by different speakers on this course? Other times it sounds more like "hons" (to rhyme with "cons")

[RAlberdi]

There are no human speakers in Duolingo. The voice comes from a digital engine called TTS. If you want to hear real people speaking, try www.forvo.com

Edit: I have read somewhere that real voices have been used in two courses, Ukranian and Dutch (not sure about this last one)

When do I use honom then? Because hennes can also be used here.

[Arnauti]

hennes föräldrar would be her parents.
honom is the object form of han: Jag ser honom 'I see him'.

[geirhardur]

Is it not hennes also the object form of hon?

[Arnauti]

No, henne is the object form of hon, hennes is the possessive pronoun.

[geirhardur]

Oooh I see it clearly now. Thank you!

[Bluenosedfox]

Do all adjectives pluralise? So, "hans föräldrar är trötta"?

[Arnauti]

Most of them, but not all. Some have the same forms everywhere. The color lila 'purple' is one that is taught in the course. It's lila in every form. (and your sentence is correct!)

[Bluenosedfox]

Is there any rule to that or is it just that typical Swedish "whatever we feel like" that I should now expect?

[Sarah21189]

I heard "lika", and I was marked correct. Definitely NOT the same word... Oh well. Must be the typo acceptance thing.
