Answer 2

I think you got the word wrong. Datteba is not a word in Japanese.

Answer 3

Of or to make things possessive.

Mimi no neko = Mimi's cat
Nihon no neko = Cat of Japan

Hikaru no go = Hikaru's go.

Answer 4

I am not certain you have the phrase right but "no" is no in all languages I believe.

"go" in japanese is the number "five".

And usually at the end of a sentence in japanese a person may say - "ne" (pronounced like, neigh but with a long "eh" sound...and that doesn't really mean much, but jsut a way of saying: "right" or "really" or "get it" depending on sentiment being stated prior.

Answer 5

It's a particle meaning "of", i.e., showing possession.
Example: Akiko no neko= Akiko's cat.

Answer 6

"of" I suppose
ex:
Haruno
(Spring of)

(Haru=Spring + no=of) = Spring of/Haruno
So: "no" in Japanese means "of"

of?

Answer 8
