How is 'mine' different from 'min/mit'?
I understand the different between 'min' and 'mit' (Eks. min mus, mit hus). But, when and how to use 'mine'?
Tak.

I'm sure there's a rule about this, but I couldn't remember nor find it.
However, it's quite simple; "That book is mine" = "Den bog er min."
There aren't really any words for 'mine', other than 'min/mit/mine'.
You can re-phrase the sentence; "Den bog er min." = "Det er min bog." ("That is my book.")
In most cases, I would say the latter sounds more pleasant and is the best option to use.
So, re-arrange the words in the sentence; "That book is mine." = "Det er min bog."
Btw - glad you caught the connection between 'en/et' and 'min/mit'.

Min is used for uter words in singular (en bog)
Mit for neutrer words in singular (et hus)
Mine is used for plural (mine børn)
