Questions & Answers about Deres billet ligger på bordet.

What does Deres mean here, and why is it capitalized?

Capitalized Deres is the formal/polite possessive meaning your (singular or plural). Lowercase deres means their. In speech they sound the same; in writing you rely on capitalization and context to tell them apart.

Could I use jeres instead of Deres?

Yes—jeres is the normal, neutral way to say your (plural) in modern Danish: Jeres billet ligger på bordet. If you mean one person informally, use din (common gender): Din billet ligger på bordet. Formal Deres is mainly used in very polite or official contexts.

Why isn’t it Deres billetten?

With a preposed possessive (like Deres/jeres/din), the noun stays in the indefinite form: Deres billet, not Deres billetten. If you want a definite form with a possessive, use the postposed pattern: billetten Deres/deres/jeres.

So is billetten Deres correct, and does it change the meaning?

Yes, billetten Deres is correct (capital D = formal “your”). Meaning is the same; the postposed possessive can feel a bit more emphatic or colloquial/old‑fashioned depending on context. For “their,” you’d write billetten deres (lowercase).
