      When the possessive stands alone, it is "hers," in English.

        When would hennes mean her rather than hers?

          New here, but isn't henne 'her', and hennes 'hers'? For example: gutten hennes for 'her boy', and Jeg elsker henne for 'I love her'.

            That would have been "er det for henne".

              Is it supposed to sound like 'hunners'?
