A reflexive possessive pronoun is used instead of hans, hendes, dens or dets, when you are talking about the possession of something in the 3rd. person singular, where the subject possesses the item in question.
Again, there is a difference between n-words and t-words.
n-word: sin
t-word: sit
plural: sine
en kjole | a dreess |

et hus | a house |

bøger | books |
