Reflexive possession: sin and hans
Identify the owner rather than relying only on translation.
GRAMMATIKK · BOKMÅL
Reflexive possession: sin and hans
In simple clauses, sin, si, sitt and sine refer to a third-person subject. Han leser boka si means his own book; Han leser boka hans means another man’s book. The form agrees with the owned noun.
The rule, step by step
- In a simple clause with a third-person subject, sin refers back to that subject; hans or hennes can indicate someone else.
- Sin, si, sitt and sine agree with the noun: bilen sin, huset sitt, bøkene sine.
- Do not use this reflexive possessive in the subject of an independent clause such as Bilen hans er ny. With jeg, use min, not sin.
Sentence pattern
sin bil · si bok · sitt hus · sine bøker
| Bokmål | Meaning or use |
|---|---|
| Hun leser boka si. | Her own book |
| Hun leser boka hennes. | Another woman’s book |
| Huset hans er nytt. | Possessive within the subject |

Form to review
Han vasker bilen sitt.
Correct form for the intended meaning
Han vasker bilen sin.
