Questions & Answers about asagohan no yooguruto wa supuun de tabemasu.
Why are there spaces in 朝ご飯 の ヨーグルト は スプーン で 食べます。?
They are just there to help learners see the parts of the sentence.
In normal Japanese writing, you would usually write it without spaces:
朝ご飯のヨーグルトはスプーンで食べます。
Japanese does not normally separate words with spaces the way English does.
What does 朝ご飯のヨーグルト mean?
Here, の connects two nouns.
- 朝ご飯 = breakfast
- ヨーグルト = yogurt
- 朝ご飯のヨーグルト = the yogurt for breakfast / the breakfast yogurt / the yogurt at breakfast
So の is showing a relationship between the two nouns. In this sentence, it most likely means the yogurt that is part of breakfast.
It does not necessarily mean ownership, even though の is often first taught as 's. It can show many kinds of connections:
- possession
- category
- location
- time-related connection
- part of a set
Why is は after ヨーグルト?
