Germans when pronouncing the name of the Seine river:

โ€ž๐‘๐”ข๐‘ฆ๐”ซ๐”ข!โ€œ

[โ€“] Schmuppes@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

"Seine" is also a German word meaning the pronoun "his" or "its", indicating a [m/n]'s ownership/relation to [f/pl]. (Brackets indicate grammatical gender of the subject/object that make seiner inflect into seine.)

Examples:

  • Seine Eltern kommen aus Polen. His parents come from Poland.
  • Das Schaf lasste seine Wolle geschnitten werden. The sheep let its wool get cut.
