Tradus de ...

Dutch independent possessives are always preceded by a definite article: de or het. Which article we use, depends on whether the pronoun refers to a het-noun or a de-noun?.

de jas the coat dat is de mijne that is mine
het boek the book dat is het mijne that is mine
de oren the ears dat zijn de jouwe* those are yours
het idee the idea dat is het jouwe that is yours
de fiets the bicycle dat is de uwe that is yours (formal)
het gezicht the face dat is het uwe that is yours (formal)
de ogen the eyes dat zijn de zijne* those are his
het oog the eye dat is het zijne that is his
de kam the comb dat is de hare that is hers
het oor the ear dat is het hare that is hers
de tent the tent dat is de onze that is ours
het plan the plan dat is het onze that is ours
de visie the vision dat is de hunne that is theirs
het doel the goal dat is het hunne that is theirs

(*) As you can see, it does not matter whether the possessive pronoun refers to a singular or plural word
