I was reading some youtube comments and one of them were saying:

> 日本語で他の動画を作成してください﻿

I wonder why use の in this phrase? Since it generally means possession or
gives to a certain object some characteristic, like:

> それが岡さんの車です or これの県大会はあこじゃない

Why use の in this phrase?
You are right to recognize that this usage of の is not the possessive use of
the particle.

In Japanese, when we study adjectives, we usually are taught that there are
two types of adjectives: い-type and な-type. For the vast majority of
adjectives, this is true, but there is yet another type of adjective that you
will encounter in your studies: の-type adjectives.

According to jisho.org, [他 is a の-adjective.](http://jisho.org/word/%E4%BB%96)
Given the context of a YouTube comment, `他の動画` means `other video.` The person
who left the comment is saying the following:

> Please make another video in Japanese.

So you might wonder, "What should I know about the の-adjective?" Well, there
are quite a few resources on the internet. I have answered a question about
the の-adjective before, and you can find the information
[here](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/a/48587/22352). The part in that
answer that will be useful to you is in the pictures, where you will find a
good explanation about how の and な adjective are related, and how they are
different.
