In common language the Genitive of the substantival possessive
pronoun is not used. There is another form of a possessive
that could be used (der ihrige, die ihrige, das ihrige),
but it sounds really antiquated. If you want to form
a Genitive of ihre
it is mostly done like in English.
| Das
ist der Schlüssel von ihrem (Auto
etc.). This is the key of hers. (her car etc.) |
|
The same could be said with a real
Genitive and ihrige
(it's just not used commonly):
| Das
ist der Schlüssel des ihrigen. This is the key of hers. |
|
| Example: die Schachtel (= box) possessed object => feminine, singular |
| Ich
sehe meine, aber ihre nicht. I see mine but not hers. |
| Example: das Kleid (= dress) possessed object => neutral, singular |
| Du
kannst mit ihrem hingehen. You can go with hers. |
| Example: die Häuser (= house) possessed object => neutral, plural |
| Ich sehe
meine, aber ihre nicht. I see mine but not hers. |
