foreigner's

Belonging to strangers

Foreigner's is the possessive form of foreigner—a person from another country or an outsider to a particular place or group.

The possessive marks something as belonging to or associated with such a person: a foreigner's perspective on American politics, a foreigner's accent.

It can also form the contraction "foreigner is": A foreigner's bound to get lost in this city.
