Possessive pronouns in Icelandic
Could someone give me some examples of how to use the different possessive pronouns in Icelandic? I understand how to use minn, mín, mitt, also when they're used in plural (mínir etc.), the accusative, dative and genitive forms are harder though.
Singular
ack. /masculine/ minn, /feminine/ mína, /neuter/ mitt
dat. /m/ mínum, /f/ minni, mínu
gen. /m/ míns, /f/ minnar, /n/ míns
Plural
ack. /m/ mína, /f/ mínar, /n/ mín
dat. /m/ mínum, /f/ mínum, /n/ mínum
gen. /m/ minna, /f/ minna, /n/ minna

I've solved this one myself. Just a temporary mind blocker that I had to get rid of first...

The accusative is direct object in the sentence (the "it"), the dative is the indirect object in the sentence ("to whom" of "for whom"), the genitive case shows possession, as in "my car" or "your house"
