Hello!
What does this mean?
'Yours was the first marriage among us.'
Can this be ambiguous?
Can it mean 'a certain person was the first among his friends to marry'
or
A certain person's marriage was the first one to be held in the presence of his friends
Please help. Thanks in advance.
It could mean that a certain person's marriage was the first to be held in the presence of his friends--although that would be a bloody awkward way to express it. Rather, i would take such a sentence to mean that the person addressed was the first in a group to have married.
