ネイティブじゃないけど、知ってる限り、大体同じ意味です。ニュアンスがちゃっと違うかもしれないけど、会話でどっちも使って大丈夫だと思います。「が」のほうがよく使われるかな🤔
ネイティブから回答が出るといいですね。
in situations where both subject-of-a-verb-phrase-modifies-a-noun and joined-noun-and-noun-phrase are both possible, they’re completely interchangeable
(目が見えない)息子
目の(見えない息子)
in the first, the phrase 目が見えない can modify 息子, and in the second 目 can modify (by way of connecting with a の) the noun phrase 見えない息子
このトピックは「ガノ交替」といいます。
結構複雑なトピックで詳しい答えが出来ないけど、「の」と「が」の使いによって文の強調点が少し変わるかなと思います。
性格が悪い生徒 (強調点は「性格が悪い」)
性格の悪い生徒 (強調点は「生徒の性格」)
その他、文がより長くなると一方を使い過ぎないように「の」と「が」を選ぶこともあります。(例えば、「の」が多過ぎたら別の助詞を使うこと)
From what I learned, both are correct. In the old days, people tend to use の for subject in a clause and now use が. In both cases, (性格が/の悪い) is modifying the noun 生徒.
It’s a bit of a continuum.
In the Japanese imperial court, they would use が for の.
In pedestrian speech, one would use の for が.
Subjects of relative clauses can use “no” instead of “ga”. So both.
