Word of the Day #12

Learn Japanese for beginners
Found a little bit of time for a post today. I've also posted a poll on the Google+ page for your opinion on an idea I'm playing around with. Thank you so much for your patience everyone!

The word for today is the particle の (no). This word is used to show possession the same way we use " 's " at the end of a word and is occasionally translated as "of". の is a suffix and is attached to the end of the word that is the possessor. For example, if I possess a dog, it becomes "my dog." In Japanese it would become の犬.

Kana: の
Romaji: no

Example
Kanji: これはです
Kana: これはわたしほんです
Translation: This is my book.
