Two types of the possessive exist. The one with stem change is mostly used in the case of an inalienable possession such as the flag of a country or an organization. To express that a person has a flag, the formation without stem change is used (although in some dialects the stem changed version is used at all places). This is why "zászlajam" is rare, except in dialects.
