Danish grammar

Reflexive possessive pronouns

Reflexive possessive pronouns are used when the possessor is the same as the subject of the clause. Danish uses sin (common singular), sit (neuter singular), and sine (plural). They are only for 3rd person (he, she, it, they). For 1st/2nd person, use the normal forms (min/mit/mine, din/dit/dine, vores, jeres).
Core meaning – "own" vs someone else's
Peter elsker sin mor		Peter loves his (own) mother
Peter elsker hans mor		Peter loves his (another man's) mother
De tog sine tasker		They took their own bags
De tog deres tasker		They took their bags (could be someone else's)
