   I don't know much about mongolian grammar but i know that the possession is
   odd

   In english you have:  "my father's car"
   In frensh it's:  "la voiture de mon père"
   In mongolian it would be ordered  like: "me, my father, his car"

   I've read it somewhere but it was in frensh and even if you read it I don't
   remember the adress.
