"Tolui (c. 1191–1232) was the youngest son of Genghis Khan, the founder of the Mongol Empire, and his first wife Börte."

Was there meant to be more context around his first wife Börte? 105.245.236.227 (talk) 07:37, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

 * @AirshipJungleman29 I mean, should it rather say "... and his first wife was Böurte."? 196.25.151.2 (talk) 12:36, 20 December 2023 (UTC)

 * No, because that is less precise. "Tolui was the son of Genghis Khan and Börte" means that these two people were Tolui's father and mother. "Tolui was the son of Genghis Khan and his wife was Börte" means that Genghis Khan was Tolui's father and Börte was Tolui's wife, which is incorrect.

 * @AirshipJungleman29 Ahh I understand what you mean. I apologise for the confusion. Perhaps a less confusing syntax would refer Börte as Toloi's mother rather than Gengis Khan's wife, seeing as the article is about Toloi. 196.25.151.2 (talk) 15:33, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * That is the first sentence: "Tolui is the son of [father] and [mother]." AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 15:41, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
