==== Ordering of possessive pronouns ====
The ordering of possessive pronouns is somewhat freer than in Swedish or Danish. When there is no adjective, the most common word order is the one used in the examples in the table above, where the possessive comes after the noun, while the noun is in its definite form; {{lang|no|boka mi}} ('my book'). If one wishes to emphasize the owner of the noun, the possessive pronoun will usually be placed first. In Bokmål, however, due to its Danish origins, one could choose to always write the possessive first: {{lang|nb|min bil}} ('my car'), but this may sound very formal. Some dialects that have been very influenced by Danish also do this; some speakers in [[Bærum]] and the [[Oslo West|west of Oslo]] may always use this word order. When there is an adjective describing the noun, the possessive pronoun will always come first: {{lang|no|min egen bil}} ('my own car').
