Dutch Form S End Pronunciation Possession English Adding

THE DUTCH [ 'S ] FORM

Another way in which you can indicate possession in Dutch, like the ‘s form in English, is by adding –s to the end of proper names and members of the family. If there will be pronunciation issues, the [ s ] will receive a [ ‘ ] in front. If pronunciation is no issue, the –s is simply stuck to the end of the name/noun:

John’s book – Jans boek

Grandma’s car – oma’s auto
