====Possession====
The classical [[genitive]] is no longer used except in a few relic expressions.{{Citation needed|reason=This actually varies by speaker and by location/education. Also, there is another possessive construction which is used that is not cited here: the "of" construction. It is not as common as the "his" construction, but it can be found.|date=August 2012}} Instead, possession is expressed as in many German dialects with the [[his genitive]], i.e. naming the possessor in the [[oblique case]] with the possessive adjective and the possessed object: Dän Maun sien Hus (the man's house). With proper nouns, and when the possessor is determined by a possessive adjective, the possessor is in the [[nominative case]] instead: Peeta sien Hus (Peter's house); mien Voda sien Hus (my father's house). Very long possessive clauses can be created: Mien Voda seine Mutta äare Mutta es miene Uagrootmutta (my father's mother's mother is my great grandmother).

For inanimate or generalized constructions, the preposition ''von'' or a composition are used instead: De Lichta von de Staut/ de Stautslichta (the lights of the city).
