    Thank you! I just wanted to make sure I was thinking of it correctly.

      So mina is used for describing a plural object and mi for a singular object ?

        Min/mitt for a singular, yes.

          So if min becomes mina when the object is plural, does mitt change to something as well?

              Is smorgasar an irregular plural? I can't find the rule for this word

                No, –ar is the regular plural for en-words.

                  "Smörgåsar" and "Mackor". They are both correct in plural terms for "Sandwiches" in Swedish.

                            Mina is used with plurals.

                              Finally, you eat your own food and not mine

                                I've seen Mitt/Min/mina for "my". Can somebody explain to me how each one is used?
