Etymology
[edit]From Old Norse oss, from Proto-Germanic *uns, from Proto-Indo-European *n̥smé.
Pronunciation
[edit]Pronoun
[edit]oss
- us (objective case)
- Såg du oss där?
- Did you see us there?
- 1981, X Models (lyrics and music), “Två av oss”[2]:
- Det finns bara en av mig och det är jag. Det finns bara en av dig och det är du. Det finns bara två av oss, och det är vi.
- There is only one of me and that is I. There is only one of you [object] and that is you [subject]. There are only two of us, and that is us [we – subject]. [Swedish has some of the same subject/object fuzziness as English, but a standalone "Det är <pronoun>" idiomatically (through intuition rather than being taught) uses the subject form]
- reflexive case of vi; compare ourselves
- Vi skulle vilja lära oss jonglera.
- We would like to learn how to juggle.
Usage notes
[edit]Note that some verbs have special senses when used reflexively. For example, do not confuse vi lär oss att... ("we learn to...") [reflexive] with de lär oss att... ("they teach us to...") and vi lär oss själva att... ("we teach ourselves to..."). Here, lär means teach(es) if it is not reflexive, but learn(s) if it is reflexive. Hence the need for the separate pronoun "oss själva" to be used when object and subject agree, but the verb nevertheless should not be used in the reflexive case.
