Question about Korean
What does "내" in "내 안에 그 작은 노래가" mean? I know it has something to do with oneself, so does it mean "I", "me", "my", or a word not listed?

내 is the abbreviation of 나의.
so it's "My."
"The small song inside me"
The sentence is like a poem/lyric, so we don't say like that in general.

@Whykiki If "내" means "my", then why is it not translated to "my" for the English translation?
Deleted user
@Li_Helen Because English is a different language from Korean. I have no idea how to add "my" behind "inside." You don't say "Inside my" do you? That's the reason.

@Whykiki Are there cases when "내" can mean "me" or words other than "my"?

@Li_Helen
No. 내 always means possession.
Literally, the sentence says "My inside the small song." But that translation doesn't make sense in English, so I changed My into Me "To make sense."

@Whykiki Ah okay. The text makes sense in Korean though, right?

@Li_Helen Yes, grammatically the text makes sense. But as I mentioned, it looks like a line of poem/lyric, so we don't say so in daily conversation.
