I have trouble translating the next:

よしおさんの車は赤と白です。

What is the correct translation to the sentence?

  1. Yoshio-san's car is red and white
  2. Yoshio-san's cars are (one) red and (the other) white

Depending on the context and circumstances, it could actually mean EITHER

Just by itself, one could say it means "Yoshio-san's car is red and white"

answer
I think-

**★Yoshio-san's car is red and white.**

is most correct translation. The second translation,

**★Yoshio-san's cars are (one) red and (the other) white**

just make CARS as plural, but the sense is not changed as Yoshio-san has 2
cars out of which one in red and other is white.

It can mean that " **All the cars Yoshio-san has are red and white** ".
