Questions & Answers about Mina skor är röda.
Why do we use mina here instead of min or mitt?
Mina is the plural form of "my". Because you are talking about more than one shoe (skor), the possessive pronoun has to match that plural form.
Does skor mean "shoes" or "the shoes"?
It means "shoes" (the indefinite plural form). In Swedish, you must always use the indefinite form of a noun immediately after a possessive pronoun like mina. You cannot say mina skorna.
Why does the word for red have an "a" at the end (röda)?
In Swedish, adjectives have to agree with the noun they describe. Since skor is plural, the adjective röd gets an -a added to the end to make it plural too.
