"My" in korean. It's "내가" or "내"?
I know that "my" is "나의" - "내", but when I translate sentence in translator he writes "내가".
Exapmle: "My favorite song" - "내가 가장 좋아하는 노래" but I think that correct is "내 가장 좋아한 노래 이야".

So yes, the possessive in Korean is '내', '나의'. But when saying 'My favourite song' in Korea, the literal translation from Korean would be 'the song that I like the most', so it would be '내가 가장 좋아하는 노래'.
A lot of the times when translating things into Korean, it's important not translate sentences literally. For example another sentence could be 'My song that I made'
----------'내 만든 노래', would be wrong.
----------'내가 만든 노래' - 'The song that I made' would be the correct way of saying it.
