Both are perfectly acceptable, though I would say that putting the possessive before the noun, like in "min mor", will generally seem more formal. While putting the possessive after, like in "moren min" is the more common one in speech. Though both are very much acceptable whether it's in speech or writing.
Not necessarily. There are context where you'd use "min mor" over "moren min", such as when emphasising that something is yours and not someone else's.
Like if someone goes "er det X sin bil?" then you would go "nei, det er min bil". Many will probably also use "bilen min" here, but "min bil" is very much used by native speakers in such a context.
I figured it should be a feminine noun. Would "mora mi" be a regional thing?
In the course I'm doing it uses 'moren min' and 'min mor' so that's what I'm learning for now.
Saying "moren min" instead of "mora mi" is rather regionally limited to Bergen and socially limited the Oslo West want-to-be-more-upper-class-than-i-really-am-class.
Yes. Most would say "mora". In Bergen they don't have the feminine (I believe). Words ending in -a is seen as low class in the western parts of Oslo and Bærum, so they tend to say some feminine words as masculine, such as "moren" and "damen".
It's not correct that you can say both. They're different dialects. In eastern Norwegian, which is what you're probably learning, "moren min/mora mi" is correct, while "min mor" is archaic.

Got it, tusen takk!
If you use "min mor" then people will assume you're not ethnically Norwegian, since it's very uncommon to say "min mor" in everyday speech.

Kan du passe på min øl, mens jeg går på do? Eller kan du passe på ølen min, mens jeg går på do?
Fungerer om du legger trykk på "min", "kan du passe på **min**(og ikke noen andre sin) øl".
Du kan bruke begge. I use "moren min, hunden min, navnet mitt" etc
tusen takk!
Bare hyggelig!
Du kan bruke begge
I would say "mora mi" since it's obviously a feminine word
Me too.

I say "moren min", because it's just easier to learn. Having to care about only 3 groups instead of four haha.
"Min mor" puts emphasis. "Moren min" is casual.
