I totally agree, the best explanation I’ve read about the “sin” pronoun. Thanks Anna!

I have been puzzled about SIN SITT SINA and there counterparts when trying “lara mig svenska” through books/ audio tape. Your examples make them as clear as crystal to me now. And I agree with one of the posters that it is what English lacks in terms of possessive pronoun. Thanks for your humors as always.

I am confused now. I thought there is no sin involved to love someone else’s wife—lol.

It is a SIN that we don’t have such a clear and useful way of distinguishing possessive pronouns in English and have to instead rely on the imperfect use of antecedents to figure out what we are talking about.

I lived in Sweden and learned Swedish to a fair level, but no-one has ever been able to explain the use of ’sin’ to me so clearly before. It’s so obvious now. I’ll never make that mistake again. Tackar.
