Object pronouns (mig, dig, oss)

Object Pronouns

When a person or thing is receiving the action of a verb, we use an object pronoun. This is the difference between saying "I" (the subject doing the action) and "me" (the object receiving the action).

Singular Object Pronouns

Here are the singular object pronouns in Swedish. Notice that den and det (it) do not change from their subject forms.
