Usage notes
Among unexercised users of formal standard German, one can frequently read or hear dessen when deren would be correct (or occasionally vice versa), since either of these forms is missing in some vernaculars.
Consider:
and
- Sie haben ihre Freunde und deren Sohn eingeladen.
- They have invited their friends and their son.
The first sentence relates that the family which invites has a son, thus, they invite friends and that son. In the second sentence, the family invites their friends and a son of the invited family. Compare this behaviour with Ukrainian свій and Ukrainian possessive pronouns:
- Вони запросили своїх друзів і свого сина.
vs.
- Вони запросили своїх друзів і їхнього сина.
