mate's

Pal's own thing

Mate's is the possessive form of mate—a friend, companion, or partner.

In casual speech, especially British and Australian English, it marks something belonging to a friend: I'm crashing at my mate's tonight, That's my mate's car.

It also forms the possessive of mate meaning spouse or animal breeding partner: His mate's loyalty never wavered.
