A few notes on this:

• Many pronouns have two versions: one for regular use and one to use if the pronoun has a specific emphasis (the ‘proper’ version):
  • mij and mijn are usually me and m’n
  • jij, jou and jouw are usually je
    (Herinner jij je jouw verjaardag? – Herinner je je je verjaardag?)
  • zijn is usually z’n
  • het is usually ‘t
  • zij is usually ze
  • wij is usually we
• The same goes for ze and hun (object, third person plural): normally you would use ze, but if you need a special emphasis, you use hun .
• Officially, for object third person plural (‘them’) there are two forms: hun and hen. The grammar rules state that
  • hen should be used for direct object and after prepositions and
  • hun should be used for indirect object.

  This is a purely artificial difference though: most Dutch people don’t get it right – in colloquial Dutch hun is mostly used for all object forms.

• In spoken Dutch, you even hear hun being used as a subject form for third person plural. This is still considered absolutely wrong, though.
• The possessive ons is used for het-nouns (ons huis) and onze for de-nouns (onze tuin).
