##### Usage notes

* As with the han, hans is not used only with masculine persons, but also with masculine nouns. The same cannot be said for the sense expressing possession or association, used more like a preposition.
* When applied after a noun, the noun should always be in its definite form. This is by far the most normal way in which hans is used. Some familial terms are exempt, but not excluded. These are bror, far, and mor, though occasionally also dotter and syster.
* Though not as common, hans may also come preceding a nominal phrase. This is usually done for emphasis or for phrases that might be considered more "fixed". In these cases, the noun should be in its appropriate indefinite form. The phrase itself must still be considered definite though, and as such, adjectives still inflected in their definite forms.

##### Synonyms

* (expressing possession or association): til (preposition) (used irrespective of gender of possessor)
