Is it possible to demolish these interior walls?

[Saralaek]

Hello!

I have a problem, I am going to tear down some interior walls in a house I just bought. They are the walls I have marked on this drawing. One is built from the chimney and the other against an outer wall (terrace outside), both are about 1 meter long. The trusses have been reinforced previously in different places. The whole house is approximately 60 square meters.
It seems like these walls were put up after the roof, as the ceiling tiles are the same in both rooms.
Do you think these are load-bearing walls? I am planning to tear them down next weekend and hope to avoid bringing in a carpenter since I want to finish as soon as possible.

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Sara

Impossible to say without knowing more, take pictures?

In which direction are the trusses placed?

What do the trusses look like? In which direction are they positioned?

Thanks for the quick replies. Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures right now but can take them over the weekend. The roof trusses are of the type called scissor trusses and thus go from one long side to the other. Maybe a bad explanation

So, saxtakstolar look something like this:


While a fackverks can look something like this:


Here is a bit more about different types and what things are called:

They are both trusses even though their appearance is different. Both types rest on the supports at the ends (i.e., the outer walls) and do not require intermediate supports.

Yes, both are trusses, but the upper one is the type commonly referred to as a scissor truss.

There are more truss variants:
Mono-pitched truss:

Girder truss:

It is the walls that I have marked on this drawing. One is built from the chimney stack, and the other against an outer wall (patio outside), both are about 1 meter long. The rafters have been reinforced in various places previously. The entire house is about 60 square meters.
It seems like these walls were put up after the roof since the roof tiles are the same in both rooms.
Do you think these are load-bearing? I'm actually planning to demolish them next weekend and hope to avoid having to bring in a carpenter as I want to finish as soon as possible.

Not enough info.
Is there a roof or upper floor above?
What direction are the rafters/floor joists running?
How wide/long is the house?
Is the rafter/floor joist intact where it passes the chimney stack, or divided (cut)?
