the の's

[roosh]

can a の being used many times in a sentence? i was making one and it sounded like this.
私の国の首相のなまえはアブヅラです。
anyway, is it neccesary to add a 囯 in the sentence?
it just makes me feel weird.

Yes, I think "no" can be used again and again without sounding ridiculous, like when you say in English (My grandmother's sister's daughter's mobile phone)

Also I am sure this alright in polite conversation (maybe someone could back me up on this??)

You asked whether 国　is required in the sentence, well, that depends on how obvious the context of your dialouge is, but it wouldn't be weird I think

I believe that you need 国 in this sentence, otherwise it sounds a bit strange; like you're talking about a minister that you own and keep in your pocket.

Yes true, I mean unless the topic of "differnt countries' ministers" has already been established, I think it would not be nessecary.

mm..so is there a need to correct the sentence?;)

[Harisenbon]

Nope. It sounds fine just like it is. =)

I guess.... Here is this stupid sentence I made:

Watashi no INU NO shikon no tama desu! This is my DOG'S FourSouls Jewel!


"What do you mean, 'Dog?'" *squish*

By the way, even though it is InuYasha-ish and stupid, is the grammar correct?

EDIT-tsu: I couldn't understand the sentence because of all the kanji. X_x *dies*

I suggest you add a "Kore ha/wa" to the beginning, so you actually SAY "This is"... and it will make a bit more sense. But otherwise, it's fine.
