👉 Possessive fumes refer to a linguistic phenomenon where a noun is modified by possessive markers, indicating ownership or association without using an explicit "of" word. For example, in "John's book," "John's" shows possession over "book," clearly indicating that the book belongs to John. This can also extend to other possessive forms, such as "Mary's house" or "the cat's toy," where the possessive adjective directly links the noun to its owner or the object in question, streamlining communication and adding a layer of clarity and informality to language.
