In Japanese, we can combine two nouns by putting the particle ‘の’ between them. ‘の’ has many uses, but its most common is to express that the word before it belongs to or is part of the word after it. The simplest way to think of it is as the word ‘of’ or as an ‘ ‘s,’ though this is not an exact translation, as ‘の’ can be used in many other ways that we will learn later on.
