Questions & Answers about Haar uitspraak is duidelik.

What does haar mean here?

In this sentence, haar means her.

So haar uitspraak = her pronunciation.

A useful thing to know is that haar can also be the object form her, as in:

• Ek sien haar. = I see her.

But here, because it comes before a noun (uitspraak), it is clearly possessive: her pronunciation.

Why is there no word like the before uitspraak?

Because haar already functions as a possessive determiner, just like her in English.

Compare:

• die uitspraak = the pronunciation
• haar uitspraak = her pronunciation

You normally do not say die haar uitspraak. The possessive replaces the article.

What does uitspraak mean exactly?
