#lesson 14

!!!!

Do not view if you don't want to have it spoiled.

First off I just want to say I loved lesson 14

The trial in which we support Diavolo. How sad it was Diavolo felt he had to follow exactly in his father's footsteps. Whe. He needed to realize he had power in ruling by his heart and his pure judgments. Solomon's brief backstory, which HURTS. It hit me right in the feels. But then we get this piece of information about Mephisto!!

First we all knew he loved the sweets made by Luke which gave the hint he had a sweet tooth. But Mephistopheles really out here pouring a whole pot of sugar. It's not really a huge pot(it could be) but I'm thinking it's like one of those cute sugar dishes with a lid (still a shit ton of sugar.) Bro be out here hyped up on sugar. 😂

Second his family has served as faithful knights!?!? Okay but this all makes soooo much sense now! (Sorry pro-shippers this ain't for you.) This explains why Mephisto is upset with Lucifer and why he feels like he deserves to be by Diavolo’s side instead. Lucifer is just someone forced unto loyalty whereas Mephisto is already willing to lay down his life to protect him. (Dude...I have a thing for knights this only makes Mephisto EVEN more attractive to me. I want him to teach me some swordsmanship 😏 *cough* anyways...) moving on to the finally piece

Is it mine? Is it yours? Is it Marie’s? Let’s extend on our knowledge about possessions and possessive pronouns in Danish. First, a quick recap of the possessive pronouns that we saw in Lesson 6:

What’s the difference between “min/mit/mine”, “din/dit/dine” and “dens/dets” you might wonder. Let’s look at the difference:

Min/mit/mine

Min is used when the object you are talking about is an en-noun (e.g. “en kat”).

Example sentence: Det er min kat = It is my cat

Mit is used when the object you are talking about is an et-noun (e.g. “et fjernsyn”).

Example sentence: Det er mit fjernsyn = It is my television

Mine is used when the object you are talking about is in plural (e.g. “bøger”)

Example sentence: Det er mine bøger = It is my books

Din/dit/dine

Din is used when the object you are talking about is an en-noun (e.g. “en kat”).

Example sentence: Det er din kat = It is your cat

Dit is used when the object you are talking about is an et-noun (e.g. “et fjernsyn”).

Example sentence: Det er dit fjernsyn = It is your television

Dine is used when the object you are talking about is in plural (e.g. “bøger”)

Example sentence: Det er dine bøger = It is your books

Dens/dets

Dens is used when the owner of an object is an en-noun. Let’s say that the object is a toy and that the owner is a cat. You could then say: “It is the cat’s toy”. But you could also replace the word “cat’s” with “its” and the sentence then becomes: “It is its toy”. Since a cat in Danish is an en-noun (en kat), the word “its” translates to “dens” (and not “dets”) in Danish. The sentence in Danish is then:

Det er dens legetøj = It is its toy

Dets is used when the owner of an object is an et-noun. Let’s say that the object is a garage and that the owner of the garage is a house (yes, this example is weird). You could then say: “It is the house’s garage”. But you could also replace the word “house’s” with “its” and the sentence then becomes: “It is its garage”. Since a house in Danish is an et-noun (et hus), the word “its” translates to “dets” (and not “dens”) in Danish. The sentence in Danish is then:

Det er dets garage = It is its garage

‘s

To show possession in English ‘s is used. For example: “It’s my mom’s car”. The concept of adding an s at the end of the word is the same in Danish. However, the apostrophe is omitted. The sentence in Danish would then be: “Det er min mors bil”

Example sentence: Det er Marias hun = It is Maria’s dog

Sin/sit/sine

Sin/sit/sine wasn’t part of the table above because they are quite special. Their grammatical purpose was already covered in Lesson 6, but for good measure I will leave the same explanation here:

In English there’s no difference between the pronoun used when the subject of a sentence is owning the object of a sentence versus when the subject of a sentence is not owning the object of a sentence. This sounds like gibberish, but let’s look at an example sentence:

He eats his burger.

In this example sentence you can’t tell whether he is eating his OWN burger or some other guy’s burger. This is something you will have to know from context of the sentence.

In Danish there’s a clear distinction between whether (as in this example) he is eating his own burger or someone else’s. Let’s look at the same example but in Danish:

Han spiser sin burger. (since the pronoun “sin” is used we can tell that he is eating his own burger)

Han spiser hans burger. (since the pronoun “hans” is used we can tell that he is eating someone else’s burger)

Sin is used when the object of the sentence is an en-noun (e.g. “en far”).

Example sentence: Hun besøger sin far = She visits her dad

Sit is used when the object of the sentence is an et-noun (e.g. “et æble”).

Example sentence : Hun spiser sit æble = She eats her apple

Sine is used when the object of the sentence is in plural (e.g. “katte”)

Example sentence: Hun kæler for sine katte = She pets her cats
