I'm trying to understand the beginner sentence:

> 隣の女の人も、かばんから漫画の本を出しました。

which apparently translates to

> The girl beside him took out a manga from her bag too.

The contents of the sentence before the comma are tripping me up

> 隣の女の人も

**Question:** Does this literally translate to something like

  1. "Neighbor's woman's man also"
  2. "Neighbor's woman's person also"

If so, why not just omit 人 and have it be "neighbor's girl also" or "隣の女も"?

question
meaning
Understanding "[隣]{となり}の[女]{おんな}の[人]{ひと}も"
女の人 is a word in its own right meaning woman, and should be memorized as such,
along with 男の人. 隣の女の人も should be parsed like this: [隣の[女の人]]も. I think with
that out of the way you should be able to arrive at the correct translation,
right?

> The girl beside him took out a manga from her bag too.

As for the difference between 男の人・女の人 and simply 男・女, see this Q&A:

男/女?](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/4380/30454)
