"This is her day."

Translation: यह उसका दिन है।

[AbhinavVishak]

shouldnt this be uski ?

[emrys29]

No. "Uska" is correct. Here "uska/uski" has to agree with "din" and not the person being referred to. So regardless of whether we're talking about a man or woman, the sentence will be "ye uska din hai".

Oh boy, this is so confusing. Yoda's speech is more simple. Thanks

[Aditya92]

Thank you! So in other words because "din" is masculine, we use uska.

My native speaker boyfriend says यह दिन उसका है is also correct. Is he right or using bad grammar?

[ChYrantha]

To me it feels like This day is hers. Can someone confirm?

[OJFord]

I don't see a distinction in English?

[ManikantaS14]

I think so

[Nihupole]

Both are correct
Infect, Yeh din uska hai is more precise
I live in Delhi

[ARMYPerson5]

Her day for WHAT????? What is she gonna do???????/

[JorgeOsori100592]

उसका is for her
उसकी is for her?

[MihiYoon]

Former is for him. Latter is for her.

[nunya186503]

NO! They both mean his/her. Uski bacci (his/her daughter) vs uska bacca (his/her son). You figure out the his/her distinction from the context.

Opposite from English, but similar to Romance languages, the gender of these possessive pronouns agrees with the item possessed, not with the possessor.

Does anyone elae feel that, in ambiguous situations, Duolingo Hindi (almost?) translates the pronoun as "she" or "her" and never/very rarely as "he" or "his"? I can understand their wanting to counteract the dated practice in language courses to default to male forms in general examples, but here we are with this confusion. Balance seems like a more practical goal.
