A good example for this I got during a Norwegian class. "Han skal kysse kona si" - great! he's going to kiss his wife, how sweet. "Han skal kysse kona hans" - oops! careful there! "han" might get punched in the face because "kona hans" is a wife of another guy! :D

It's certainly confusing to hear at first, but this is actually a lovely system! In English we run into issues with ambiguity in possessive pronouns. For example, if I'm talking about two friends "John" and "Jørgen", and I say "John took his car to the store.", it is often confusing whether I'm talking about John's car or Jørgen's car. Often when this ambiguity comes up you'll hear an English speaker stumble around and replace the pronouns with proper nouns for more clarity. If we had a pronoun which referenced a third party from the subject, that would clear this up quite a bit!

You can start by using names that are almost for boys, or for girls. Peter is selling Peter's car. So, han (Peter) is selling bilen sin. Peter is selling Karl's car. So, han (Peter) is selling bilen hans. Linda and Peter (de) are selling Linda and Peter's bilen sin. Linda and Peter (de) are selling Ana and Tom's) bilen deres. In English, because we do not have "sin/sit/sine" we often start saying: He's going to sell his car. But we stop, just after "his" and very quickly add the name when "his" is the other guy: He's going to sell his -- Kar'ls car. Or we say: He's going to sell Karl's car, and not use the second "his" because it can be forvirret.

i think the best way to remember when it is SIN SITT OR SINE is when you know the infinitiv noun..when its hus that is ET(infinitiv) so it will be HUSET in the sentence so you must use SITT..when is BIL that is EN(infinitiv) so it will be BILEN that is SIN..when its MOR that is EI(infinitiv)so it will be MORA that is SI..and SINE always use in plural form..BILENE, FORELDRENE or VENNENE etc.. its always a SINE....thats how i remember to use SIN;SITT OR SINE.. men jeg vet ikke om jeg er riktig om bruker SIN SITT SINE ;)

Also important: "sin/sitt/si" cannot be used with a subject. For example: "Han skal kysse *kona si*. Vi vet at *kona hans* kommer til å like det." In the first sentence the wife is an object, so using si is fine. In the second sentence the wife is the subject, and si cannot be used.

This was extremely helpful, thank you. The problem is with English, which does not distinguish between these degrees of ownership. To differentiate between one's own car versus the car of a friend, we have to say “He sold *his* *own* car” versus “He sold *Bob's* car.” In both cases you could say “He sold *his* car”, and if you understood the context, that might be fine. But Norwegian differentiates between the two situations with “sin / si / sitt / sine” and “hans / hennes”.

Let me start off by saying, tusen takk for the videos and helpful tips on the Norwegian language and I hope to see more from you, but I just wanted to ask if you could help me quickly. I am moving to Norway in September 2016 to start school and my life there, My girlfriend currently lives in Stavanger, and she says my Norwegian pronunciation is very good, but I would like to learn the language by being able to read, write, and fluently speak and understand others. Can you give me tips on just how to start. I am very lost on just the beginning and my brain is jumping around on different topics of the language. So I am just asking if you can tell me exactly where to start my journey into learning the Norwegian language. :) Thank you so much in advance and I will make sure to continue watching the videos :D

Does this only apply to 3rd person "his/hers/theirs"? What about 1st and 2nd person. If I were selling my own car I would say "jeg skal selge bilen min" and if I were takling about you selling your own car it would be "du skal selge bilen din." Correct?
