    Personal pronouns, object form

    Like in English, but unlike many other languages, the object form is also used in:

    mig me
    dig you
    ham, hende, den, det, en him, her, it, you (general)
    os us
    jer you
    dem, Dem them, you (polite)

    os ourselves
    jer yourselves
    dem, Dem themselves, yourselves (polite)
    Possesive pronouns

    Ex: Er det din taske? Er det hans ur? – Nej, han har sit ur i tasken .
    pos. pos. pos.

    min see note 1 my/mine


    din see note 1 your/yours
    hans, hendes, dens, dets, ens his, her/hers, its, your/yours
    (general)
    or

    sin see note 1, see note 2 in reflexive position ­ see note 2


    vores our/ours
    jeres your/yours
    deres, Deres their/theirs, your/yours (polite)

    Note 1: Min, din and sin are declined according to gender and number, like the
    adjectives. Min stol, mit bord, mine nøgler.

    Note 2: Sin is a reflexive function, like sig. It always connects to the subject and
    verb of the same phrase. So the phrase:

    Han kysser sin kone means: He kisses his (own) wife.


    s v
    While

    Han kysser hans kone refers to for instance the wife next door.
    s v

    More examples:

    Hun tager sin taske.


    s v
    Hendes taske er stor.
    ‐‐‐‐‐‐s‐‐‐‐‐‐ v
    Peter spurgte, om jeg havde set hans taske.
    s v
    Peter og hans kone lugter af fisk.
    ‐‐‐‐‐‐s‐‐‐‐‐‐ v
