Expressions of Possessions -The No Particle.

 

The no particle :  That symbol to the left is the  ? particle.
The no particle is affixed to a noun and indicates possession. The construction is as follows:

NOUN + NO = 'S

Ex. 1 The dog's food. Inu no esa. Inu (dog) + no = the dog's.

Ex. 2 Tom's car - Tommu no kuruma.

You might be asked, " Who's is it?" to which you could reply, it's mine, or, it's yours or, it's his, or it's theirs or its ours. In each case no would be used to indicate possession as in the following:


it's mine - watakushi no
it's your's - anata no (plural anata tachi no)
it's his - kare no
it's her's -- kanojo no
it's their's - karera no
it's our's - watakushi tachi no
who's? -  dare no?

I like the no particle. It looks very oriental to me. It is almost the epitome of ornamnetal oriental to me. Thanks for another great free Japanese Lesson.

About brettkun

Makurasuki Sensei, Brett McCluskey. enjoys sharing his knowledge of Japanese Grammar  with those serious about becoming fluent in another langauge.  Japanese Just happens to be his forte. He applauds all efforts in of those who pursuit fluency in Japanese, or in whatever language they choose to learn. Journey to Fluency/


I started my Journey toward Japanese fluency at a tender age. I remember studying very hard waking up early every morning to study with only one goal in mind. To be able to converse freely with the Japanese people in their own tongue, I desired this skill more than any other. I worked at it and it has become a continuos study.

Check out my Japanese Plug and Play Ghetto Grammar http://squidoo.com/japanese123456 or if you can't wait take an even shorter cut to learning a second language by going to Lingual Advancements
I am also a performing musician and very much into music and Japanese, but not necessarily Japanese music.


JPPGG - Is The premier ghetto grammar workstation for Japanese langauge learners. Ja mata kondo! Make strides toward fluency in any language!"
