"Han hører sin fugl."

Translation: He hears his bird.

[Alis717C]

I have a Danish book that says hans means his; are sin and hans both used to mean his; and if so what is the difference?

[kernkin]

Yes, hans does mean 'his', but when you want to imply that it's 'his own' - you use sin/sit/sine.

Examples:

• He listened to his (someone else's) lecture - would use hans in Danish.

• He listened to his (own) music - would use sin/sit/sine in Danish.

Is "listen to" wrong? why?

[Marinia]

To listen to would rather be "at lytte til".

[Atcovi]

This sounds like a rhythm
