Etymology

edit

From Old Swedish þēra, from Old Norse þeirra, with the -s added in analogy with other genitive forms, specifically the masculine/neuter singular -s. Further from Proto-Germanic *þaizǫ̂, genitive plural of *sa, and ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *tóysoHom, masculine/neuter genitive plural of Proto-Indo-European *só.

deras

  1. their; belonging to them

    When the neighbors are traveling, I tend their dog

Usage notes

edit

Note the difference to sin:

När grannarna åker bort tar de med sig sin hund = When the neighbors travel, they bring their (own) dog.

That is, use sin if the subject of the sentence are the ones possessing something; deras otherwise.
