Personal pronouns: The second person (singular and plural) has two forms: familiar du/I and polite De. A similar distinction exsists eg. in German (du/Sie), French (tu/vous) or Polish (ty/Pan[i]). However, most Danes will chose the form du in 99% of cases.
Possessive pronouns: in the third person singular one uses sin with relation to the subject of the sentence. Eg. the sentence Han elsker sin kone. means that "he" loves his own wife, whereas Han elsker hans kone. means that the woman in question is a wife of some other man. A similar distinction is observed in Polish/Russian: jego/swój; его/свой.
