  • BLOOPERS AT THE END! Are you confused about the "Hans" "hennes" "sin" "sine" and "sitt"? I AM TOO! Watch this video where I try to exmplain... And dont forget the bloopers at the end, where I make you more confused.
    Hey all Norwegian learners!
    The language I'm teaching is not Bokmål nor Nynorsk. It's an east dialect and I don't think you will have much problem with bokmål after this. :) And everyone will understand this.
    I am Norwegian, from Norway. Born and raised. I live in Oslo, with my husband and son.

    A good example for this I got during a Norwegian class. "Han skal kysse kona si" - great! he's going to kiss his wife, how sweet. "Han skal kysse kona hans" - oops! careful there! "han" might get punched in the face because "kona hans" is a wife of another guy! :D

    Not confused at all. Sin/sitt/sine = subject is the owner of the object. Hans/hennes = subject is not the owner of the object. Easy! :)

      @emmasofie8521 Před 9 lety +1

      Kim Chi I think the same thing, but it depends of the referencial, I mean, the native language of the person. My native language is portuguese and for me was easy, but for others must be dificult.

    You can start by using names that are almost for boys, or for girls. Peter is selling Peter's car. So, han (Peter) is selling bilen sin. Peter is selling Karl's car. So, han (Peter) is selling bilen hans. Linda and Peter (de) are selling Linda and Peter's bilen sin. Linda and Peter (de) are selling Ana and Tom's) bilen deres. In English, because we do not have "sin/sit/sine" we often start saying: He's going to sell his car. But we stop, just after "his" and very quickly add the name when "his" is the other guy: He's going to sell his -- Kar'ls car. Or we say: He's going to sell Karl's car, and not use the second "his" because it can be forvirret.

    Hi Karin, thank you so much- you did a fantastic job!! I know how hard this must have been to make for all of us trying to learn Norwegian and I love the stick people drawings. This totally made sense and I understand it!! Your bloopers were hilarious and I was laughing the whole time..:)

    • @NorwegianTeacher

      Kathleen Glover hahaa. Im glad the stickfugures helped! In my mind I thought it was genious ^^

  • @Mike-zx7lq
    @Mike-zx7lq Před 9 lety +10

    It's certainly confusing to hear at first, but this is actually a lovely system! In English we run into issues with ambiguity in possessive pronouns. For example, if I'm talking about two friends "John" and "Jørgen", and I say "John took his car to the store.", it is often confusing whether I'm talking about John's car or Jørgen's car. Often when this ambiguity comes up you'll hear an English speaker stumble around and replace the pronouns with proper nouns for more clarity. If we had a pronoun which referenced a third party from the subject, that would clear this up quite a bit!

    • @patrickcagney8060
      @patrickcagney8060 Před 4 lety

    I was covering this today in my Norwegian class in Oslo. There was much confusion on my part, I must confess. So I'm glad that Norwegians get confused my their own grammar too. That's reassuring. I don't feel quite so bad that my elders insisted on inflicting 'their, there, and they're' on the world now ;-)

  • @hugomoralesg1989
    @hugomoralesg1989 Před 8 lety

    Also important: "sin/sitt/si" cannot be used with a subject. For example: "Han skal kysse *kona si*. Vi vet at *kona hans* kommer til å like det."
    In the first sentence the wife is an object, so using si is fine. In the second sentence the wife is the subject, and si cannot be used.

  • @ZenFox0
    @ZenFox0 Před 6 lety

    This was extremely helpful, thank you.
    The problem is with English, which does not distinguish between these degrees of ownership. To differentiate between one's own car versus the car of a friend, we have to say “He sold *his* *own* car” versus “He sold *Bob's* car.”
    In both cases you could say “He sold *his* car”, and if you understood the context, that might be fine. But Norwegian differentiates between the two situations with “sin / si / sitt / sine” and “hans / hennes”.
