9. -의
-의 means possessive and you read it as [에], not [의]. But you don’t see them very often because we can skip them very often in conversations. For example,
1) 그 사람의 이름을 기억할 수 없어요. I cannot remember that person’s name.
2) 컵의 색깔이 참 예뻐요. The color of the cup is very pretty.
If it is used with 저, 나 or 너, we usually combine them together. For example,
저의 => 제 my
나의 => 내 my
너의 => 네 your (For distinguish between 내and 네, Korean people usually say 네 as 니)
