"Her uncle drives a cab."

Translation: Onkelen hennes kjører drosje.

[cdnmark]

I've never once heard drosje in Norway, just 'taxi'. I've only heard drosje in Pimsleur's audio course and here. I think it's an old word.

Why drosje not en drosje ?

Is "Onkelen sin..." wrong?

[fveldig]

'sin' means that the subject owns the thing. The uncle cannot own himself, so there is another person (she) who owns the uncle. In which case you should use 'hennes'.

Thanks! I read the notes for the Possessives again and it all came back.
