Thread: свой

Эти же самые:

" Я хочу, чтоб ты продал твой дом" = "Я хочу, чтоб ты продал свой дом!"

"хочу, чтобы ты продал твой дом" doesn't sound right. At least to me

So the correct is Я хочу, чтоб ты продал свой дом!
There is not chance that anyone else will think that I want him to sell MY house.

If you wanted to say that you'd go for:

Я хочу, чтобы ты продал мой дом.

Usually there’s no misunderstanding, because two pronouns (or pronoun + adjective) like ‘ты свой, он свой, она свой, они свой, я свой, мы свой’ always go together, they are inseparable and glued to each other in the same way as ‘my own, your own, our own, his own, her own, their own, its own’ in English. In other words, ‘свой’ sticks to ‘я, ты, он, etc’ in the same way as ‘own’ sticks to ‘my, your, his, etc’.

So the correct is Я хочу, чтоб ты продал свой дом! - YES
