I'm still very new to Japanese, but I've learned that octopus is たこ and child
is 子. In addition to this, I'm aware that the の particle is used to show
possession; for example:

> わたし の なまえ ...

Here, it's my understanding that the の particle is demonstrating possession of
なまえ by わたし, effectively saying "my name is". With this understanding, one
could arrive at the conclusion that たこの子 would translate to "child of the
octopus", roughly.

Is this the correct way to say "child of the octopus"?
