How I can use 의?
Can someone help me with one question?
We can use 의 only with the meaning of belonging to someone?
Like we can say 언니의 구두 but we can't say 한국의 음악?

Thank you for your question.
I'll give you the answer I've written before, by Ctrl+c Ctrl+v
Simply said, you can think of '의' as similar to 'of' in English.
But you can use a much more diverse way.
In a nutshell, It is used to indicate a [possession, Subject of action, object, property, function, apposition, relation, Degree, characteristic, result, etc]
e.g. 나의 옷 [possession] 우리의 각오[Subject of action] 다윈의 진화론[object] 금의 무게[property]
축하의 잔치[function] 100℃의 끓는 물[apposition] etc.
So, of course, you can say '한국의 음악'
Have a nice day~
