Learn Icelandic: Dóttir þín er úti. - Your daughter is outside.

Possessive pronouns change to match the gender of the noun they belong to. Because dóttir (daughter) is a feminine noun, you have to use the feminine form þín instead of the masculine form þinn.

Why does þín come after dóttir instead of before it like in English?

In Icelandic, possessive words like þín (your) usually come right after the noun they describe. So instead of saying "your daughter", Icelandic literally says "daughter your" (dóttir þín).

Don't nouns usually get a "the" ending when used with a possessive pronoun?

Normally, yes! For most things, you attach "the" to the noun, like bíllinn þinn (the car your). However, close family members like dóttir, sonur (son), móðir (mother), and faðir (father) are a special exception. We leave off the "the" ending when using possessive pronouns with them.

I have seen the word út for outside. Why does it have an i at the end here (úti)?

Icelandic uses slightly different words depending on whether you are moving or standing still. Út implies motion, like walking outside. Úti means you are already located outside. Since the daughter is currently outside, we use the stationary word úti.
