How to use adjectives to qualify nouns in between the の particle?


For example, how would I say "my dad's old car's broken wheel"? Where does the
adjective go w.r.t the の particle? 父の古い車の駄目な車輪 ? Is it right for the adjective
to appear near の? It sounds odd




> my dad's old car's broken wheel  
>  父の古い車の駄目な車輪

I think it's okay, grammatically speaking at least.

You could use 壊れた for "broken", though, like:

> 父の古い車の壊れた車輪

* * *

父の壊れた古い車の車輪 would normally be interpreted as "wheels of my dad's broken old
car".
