Japanese

<p>
	One way to express the sentence <strong>Yuko's eyes are big</strong> in Japanese would be<strong><ruby>ゆこさんの目meは大ooきいです</ruby></strong>, which is perfectly acceptable. 
	However, using the particle <strong>は</strong>, we could write the sentence without the possessive particle <strong>の</strong> like this:
	<strong><ruby>ゆこさんは目meが大ooきいです</ruby></strong>.
</p>

<p>
	In the latter sentence, which sounds more natural in Japanese,  we do not have to directly specify that the big eyes are Yuko's.
	It is inferred that they belong to her because she is the topic of the sentence.
</p>
	
<p>
	The table below includes more examples of this pattern using <strong>は</strong> instead of <strong>の</strong>.
