About Japanese Grammar: The no (の) particle

  Japanese Grammar: The no (の) particle When you want to say “my name” or “his friend” how will you say it in Japanese?  In order to complete this exercise you’ll need to know the Japanese possessive called no (の).  Take a look at this sentence: watashi no namae (わたし の なまえ).  Notice that the no (の) goes between the word watashi (わたし) and namae (なまえ).  Watashi (わたし) means “I” while namae (なまえ) means “name”.  Since the no (の) possessive is after the watashi (わたし), you know that the person who is doing the possession is “I”.  So in English this would change to the word “my”.  Altogether the sentence watashi no namae (わたし の なまえ) means “my name”. The no ( の ) particle is used to connect nouns together. This means that the no ( の ) particle has a wide range of uses other than just a possessive particle.  For example, wasada daigaku no gakusee ( わさだ だいがく の がくせい ) connects the noun daigaku ( だいがく ) to gakusee ( がくせい ).  Let’s break th...
