7. Possessive "s" - の
This is another nice thing about Japanese.
To show relationship or possession between two things just put a の (no) between them. The trick is knowing (erm... のing) which goes to the left of the no and which goes to the right...
Think of の as a 's (apostrophe S)
わたし の ねこ
- watashi no neko
- My cat [I's cat]
日本 の 車
- nihon no kuruma
- Japanese car [Japan's car]
ねこ の おもちゃ
- neko no omocha
- Cat's toy
Also think of...
- わたしの watashino as "my"
- あなたの anatano as "your"
