Hello everyone

i am your homie and senpai


Last post we talked about particles are and learnt put first ever particles "は •wa" (see day 2 post)

So, today's grammar point of the day is also going to be a particles; which is

の • no

の, when used as a particle means, possession
In direct translation, it means of or ~'s
When used in a sentence where X is the owner and Y is the owned thing, it would roughly trnaslate to "Y of X"


"私のケ一キ • watashi no keeki" translates to "my cake. "

But if we look at the word per word translation, 私 means I, の marks possession and ケ—キ means cake.
Since の is the possession marker, the word before の is the "owner/X" and the word after is "owned/Y"

So, the japanese sentence is basically saying cake of mine



you can stack の more than just once.

"私の友達の犬 • watashi no tomodachi no inu"
Means "my friend's dog"
(Literall translation: dog of friend of I)

To make it more clear, the usuall structure is
owner/possessive+の+owned/posed

Sentences like school's teacher also use の
"学校の先生 • gakkou no sensei
