Noun
possessive pronoun (plural possessive pronouns)
(grammar) A pronoun which expresses possession.
Not all of these inflections may be present at once; for example, the relative pronoun que (that, which, whom) may have any referent, while the possessive pronoun le mien (mine) may have any role in a clause. Source: Internet
While the possessive pronoun alone may be used, especially in more formal registers, as shown above, it is considered incorrect to use only the personal pronoun. Source: Internet
The adjectival form is used immediately preceding the possessed noun (det er min hest "it is my horse"), whereas the independent possessive pronoun is used in place of the possessed noun (den er min "it is mine"). Source: Internet
The term "possessive pronoun" is sometimes restricted to the first type. Source: Internet
This is especially useful in the plural, where all persons share one possessive pronoun, e.g. yn thie oc main "their house", as opposed to nyn dhie main "our/your/their house". Source: Internet
