I understand some Japanese

[Kevman]

When putting a want list together for import games I noticed all the translated titles had some "no" in them instead of an "'s". I guess no after a word gives in possesion. Am I right?

[Flak Beard]

From what I understand, that is correct. It's like saying "of" and sometimes refers to someone's or something's title.

[Doctor Fugue]

That's true, but it is also commonly used in compound nouns or noun phrases.

Examples: rekishi no kurasu = history class; eigo no sensei = English teacher

There are other uses too, but study of Japanese particles is generally a maze of rules.

[Anayo]

It's like 's or "of the", except with the component order inverted.

Misceallaneously, does anyone with more expertise than me know why they say "midori no (thing)"? All the other colors are used all by themselves (kiiroi boushi = yellow hat, chairoi tobira = brown door) by "midori" is always followed by "no"...
