Answer

It can mean 'singular' and it can mean 'possession'.

Do you own a car? (do you possess a car)
Do you have your own car (do you have a car that is solely for you to use?)
Did you come here on your own? (did you come here without a companion / alone)
Tell me in your own words (I want to here how you would describe the situation, not how someone else describes it)
