===Pronouns=== The [[personal pronoun]]s in Nynorsk are the only [[Grammatical case|case]] inflected class in Nynorsk, just like English. {| class="wikitable" |+Pronouns<ref name="ReferenceC">{{Cite web|url=http://elevrom.sprakradet.no/skolen/minigrammatikk/tema/personlege_pronomen|title=Språkrådet|website=elevrom.sprakradet.no|access-date=2018-07-14}}</ref> ![[Subject (grammar)|Subject form]] ![[Object (grammar)|Object form]] !Possessive |- |''eg'' (I) |''meg'' (me) |''min'', ''mi'', ''mitt'' (mine) |- |''du'' (you) |''deg'' (you) |''din, di, ditt'' (yours) |- |''han'' (he/it)<br> ''ho'' (she/it)<br> ''det'' (it/that) |''han'' (him/it)<br> ''henne/ho'' (her/it)<br> ''det'' (it/that) |''hans'' (his)<br> ''hennar'' (hers)<br> ''dess'' (its) |- |''vi/me'' (we) |''oss'' (us) |''vår'', ''vårt'' (ours) |- |''de/dokker'' (you, plural) |''dykk/dokker'' (you, plural) |''dykkar/dokkar'' (yours, plural) |- |''dei'' (they) |''dei'' (them) |''deira'' (theirs) |} As can be seen from the inflection table, the words for "mine", "yours" etc. have to agree in gender with the object as described in the [[#Determiners|determiners]] section. Like in [[Icelandic language|Icelandic]] and [[Old Norse]] (and unlike Bokmål, [[Danish language|Danish]] and [[Swedish language|Swedish]]), nouns are referred to by ''han'', ''ho'', ''det'' <ref name="ReferenceC"/> (he, she, it) based on the [[Grammatical gender|gender]] of the [[noun]], like the following: {| class="wikitable" |+Examples of the use of the pronoun ''it'' !Nynorsk !Bokmål !English |- |''Kor er boka mi? '''Ho''' er her'' |''Hvor er boka mi? '''Den''' er her'' |Where is my book (feminine)? '''It''' is here |- |''Kor er bilen min? '''Han''' er her'' |''Hvor er bilen min? '''Den''' er her'' |Where is my car (masculine)? '''It''' is here |- |''Kor er brevet mitt? '''Det''' er her'' |''Hvor er brevet mitt? '''Det''' er her'' |Where is my letter (neuter)? '''It''' is here |} ==== Ordering of possessive pronouns ==== {{Main|Norwegian language#Ordering of possessive pronouns}} The main ordering of possessive pronouns is where the possessive pronoun is placed after the noun, while the noun has the definite article, just like in the example from the table above; ''boka mi'' (my book). If one wishes to emphasize ownership, the possessive pronoun may come first; '''''mi''' bok'' ('''my'''' book). If there is an adjective involved, the possessive pronoun also may come first, especially if the pronoun or adjective is emphasized; ''mi eiga hytte'' (my own cabin), ''mi første bok'' or ''den første boka mi'' (my first book). In all other cases the main ordering will be used. This is in contrast to other continental Scandinavian languages, like Danish and Swedish, where the possessive comes first regardless, just like English. This system of ordering possessive pronouns in Nynorsk is more similar to how it is in the Icelandic language today.
