Questions & Answers about Jeg er enig i dit forslag.

Why is it dit forslag and not din forslag?

Because forslag is a neuter noun in Danish, and neuter nouns take dit for your.

• en stol → din stol
• et forslag → dit forslag

So the noun’s gender controls the form of the possessive.

Is forslag always neuter?

Yes. The noun is:

• et forslag = a suggestion / a proposal

Since it is an et-word, you get:

• mit forslag = my suggestion
• dit forslag = your suggestion
• vores forslag = our suggestion

This is one of the reasons it is useful to learn Danish nouns together with en or et.
