| Sep 21, 2018 at 22:30 | comment | added | Master Yoda | @Sjiveru Thanks for the advice, I definitely agree. I honestly try to do that but i think my problem is that i'm still creating the sentence in English in my head a lot of the time. I think I will start doing this eventually the more I understand the rules of the language. | |
| Sep 21, 2018 at 22:26 | comment | added | Sjiveru | Exactly that. As a word of advice, don't try and set up equivalencies in your head between Japanese words and English words - connect the Japanese words to concepts directly, and forget about how English works. | |
| Sep 21, 2018 at 22:22 | comment | added | Master Yoda | @Sjiveru That makes sense. You mean 彼女の would correspond to something that "she" possesses? 彼女の父は静かな人だ。 | |
| Sep 21, 2018 at 22:18 | comment | added | Sjiveru | No, since の indicates possession, which isn't what we want here. 'her' in English is more than one thing, and 彼女の only corresponds to one of several uses of English 'her'. | |

| Sep 21, 2018 at 21:49 | comment | added | Master Yoda | Thank you. Yes it's helpful. But when we say her, don't we have to use the no particle attached to 彼女? Like 彼女の? I think this one of the main reasons I'm confused | |
| Sep 21, 2018 at 21:18 | comment | added | Sjiveru | A better English translation of that might be 'for me, it's her'. Does that help answer your question? | |
