Particle no

Hi all, l am confused about the function of の here. 逢いたくなるの「衝動」哭きたくなるの「純情」。 if so, can someone please explain it to me? l really nead your help.

I don't really understand what you wanted to say there. の has some functions such as: * Making a connection between 2 words to generally mean: "of"; - Anata no inu - > your dog; - konya no kaigi -> tonight's official meeting - Nan no hanashi desu ka ? -> What are you talking about ? * Used at the end of a sentence with a rising tone in order to make it a question: - Nani shiteru no ? -> What are you doing ? - Uchi ni kuru no ? -> Will you come to my place ? * Used as a sentence softener, usually followed by the copula "desu" (no can sometimes be abreviated to "n" in this case): - Eiga o mi ni ikitai ndesu (no desu) -> I'd like to see a movie - Tanoshimi ni shite iru no desu -> I'm looking forward to it * Sometimes used for imperative sentences, and it's spelled with a short and clear intonation on it: - Aisu tabetai no ! -> I want to eat ice cream ! - Monku iwanai no ! -> Don't complain ! There are a few more situatuins in which no is used, but these are the most common ones. Once I remember more usages, I'll come back with updates :D

l mean to say " What is the purpose of no in the above sentenve? Pattern: Verb(-) + naru + no + Noun. My question is how come no used by negative verbs? therefore, l am confused of the use of no there. So, can you explain me the above sentence?

Sorry, I didn't make myself clear.... i didn't understand what you wrote in Japanese there :), not what are you asking about. Those verbs are not in the negative. The particle no is quite independent of things such as active/passive voice, positive/negative form of verbs. In that sentence, 'no' puts and accent on the nouns that it precedes. It's like the english "the". The ~taku suffix there is the adverbial form of the ~tai suffix (= want to...).

So, what of the meaning of the above lyrics?

Not 100% sure, but something like this: The "impulse/urge" that I want meet/have, the "pure heart" that wants to cry. This wood be a literal(word by word) translation. However, if this phrase is part of some lyrics, then it would have a different meaning with which I cannot help you unfortunately. Although, I might try and translate it as: The urge that I met will become one of/for pure love. Sorry, but I'm not very good with song lyrics in Japanese yet.

OK, no problem. Thanks コッド for the tranlations. Anyway, did you remember another use of particle no? Sorry, l want to know more about it. Please add!

Hmm, in Kansai dialect, no is sometimes used instead of "ne" for exclamations; ex: (Tokyo accent) Itsumo doori hayai ne! -> (Kansai) Itsumo doori hayai no ! (You're as fast/early as usual). Some words are spelled different in kansai, but I didn't do that here. I said that it connects two words to sometimes mean "of", but pay attention that it doesn't always mean "of" as it just connects the words for a more fluent sentence structure. For example: Migi no shouten wa totemo yasui desu ! -> The shop on the right is really cheap ! No is also used to indicate a place or positioning in certain situations (the above sentence can be added here too :D): - Kare wa kawa no hantai gawa ni sunde imasu -> He lives on the other side of the river. - Madogawa no seki ga nai -> There is no seat by the window. - Jitaku no chikaku ni imasu -> We are near my parent's house. No may also be used for noun substitutions when the context is really clear and the subject of the sentence is known: - Sonna mono mada hayatteru no ka ? -> Sonna no mada hayatteru no ka ? (Is something like that still popular ? <more with a tone of surprise> ) *Note that in the above sentence, the second "no" is used for questioning but this time it is accompanied by the question particle "ka". Again, if I remember more, I'll update.

Yay! My knowledge is increasing now. l like your explanations that are so easy to understand コッド。 Don't forget to keep updating, huh? l wait!

Thanks. I'll try, but I don't think there are any more cases left for "no". However, I'll post if something else comes to my mind.

'No' is used for verb and adjective nominalization. I think that's what コッド might have been referring to earlier. Eg. Verb nominalization: Mahou wo manabu no wa muzukashii desu. The "manabu no" means " learning/studying". Eg. Adjective nominalization: Hoshii no wa, Igirisu ni iku koukuuken desu. The "hoshii no" means "that which I want".

Yes, the "no ka" part from the last example is an example of nomilalization. I forgot how it was called. Thanks Pascal-san :D
