Usage notes[edit]
- S’n is also used to form the possessive pronouns according with ons (“we”), u (“you (polite)”), julle (“you (plural)”), and hulle (“they”). For example: Ons het ons probleme en hulle het hulle s’n (“We have our problems and they have theirs.”) The other personal pronouns have special forms: myne, joune, syne, and hare.
