Comparison:
In English the possessive pronouns do not conjugate in the 1st. and the 2nd. person singular and plural, as they do in Danish. Possessive pronouns have a short and longform. The short form is used when the possessive pronoun is followed by a noun or adjective. The long form is used if the possessive pronoun stands alone at the end of the sentence.
It is my bag.
The bag is mine.
