I am learning French, and I had a question on how possessions work. I understand that
"I am my father's son."
would be
"Je suis le fils de mon pere."
I am curious if there is an equivalent way to say this in a possessive sense, such as "father's son" with the apostrophe. I don't know if
"Je suis mon pere son fils."
is proper. I'm guessing not. That sounds more like
"I am my father his son."
Anyway, if you know the proper way of possessions here I'd appreciate knowing.
(I didn't include the unique marks on some of the letters in French, but I do know they belong there.)
