My: min, mitt, mina
min matches the thing you have: min with an en word, mitt with an ett word, mina with more than one.
min skola[en] word
mitt rum[ett] word
mina skormore than one
To say “my”, look at the thing, not at yourself. It follows the same rule as en/ett and the describing words:
en skola → min skola · ett rum → mitt rum · två skor → mina skor
The word after min has no “the” ending: min skola, not min skolan.

A card to family starts Kära … or Hej …, and ends Kram or Många kramar (lots of love).

Your: din, ditt, dina
din, ditt, dina follow the same rule as min, mitt, mina: din skola, ditt rum, dina skor.
din skola[en] word
ditt rum[ett] word
dina skormore than one
You met min, mitt, mina this morning. “Your”, to one person, works the same way:
min skola → din skola · mitt rum → ditt rum · mina skor → dina skor
And dig is du when something happens to you: Du ser Tuss. Tuss ser dig. · Jag saknar dig.
| Swedish | English | |

| Hur är din skola? | How is your school? | |
| Är det ditt rum? | Is that your room? | |
| Var är dina skor? | Where are your shoes? | |
| Jag saknar dig. | I miss you. | |
Watch out
Hur är din rum?Hur är ditt rum? To several people, “your” is er, ert, era: that comes in Del II.
