| Particle no Noun 1 の Noun 2 |
|
| No (の) is a particle that connects two nouns. | |
| Examples: | |
| たけし さん の でんわ ばんごう | Takeshi's phone number |
| Takeshi san no denwa bangoo | |
| だいがく の せんせい | a college professor "a college's professor" |
| daigaku no sensei | |
| にほんご の がくせい | a student of the Japanese language |
| nihongo no gakusee | |
| にほん の だいがく |
a college in Japan |
| nihon no daigaku | |
| The main idea in the Japanese language always comes at the end,
with any further description place before it. |
|
| Noun 1 (Restriction, Definition, Owner, etc.) の Noun 2 (Main Idea) | |
| By using no with two nouns, it is more or less like using one big noun
- you can put it wherever you can put a noun, as in the following example: |
|
|
たけし さん の おかあさん は |
Takeshi's mother is a high school teacher. "Takeshi san's mother /topic/ high school's teacher /be/." |
|
Takeshi san no okaasan wa |
