Japanese no question particle. Question words with japanese particle も mo instead of adding the particle か ka if you add the particle も mo to なに nani だれ dare and どこ doko the japanese words for nothing なにも nanimo nobody だれも daremo and nowhere どこpも doko p mo are formed respectively. To indicate the relative location of the first noun in a sentence the no particle is used. One thing that most people get confused about japanese particles is that you need to change them when giving negative answer to a yes no question. All you have to do is put the subject plus the particle の no and then the object that the person has.
Therefore wa は is often called topic marking particle. Take these phrases for instance. The japanese particle の no when used as a possessive particle is similar to the s in english.
It s used as the japanese possessive particle showing ownership and more generally as way to turn any noun into a modifier. The topic is often the grammatical subject but can be anything including the grammatical object and sometimes the verb and it may also follow some other particles.
