as far as i remember, watashi is the noun, and to make it into 'my', you add 'no' at the end.


sooo, watashino = my


eg. watashino namae (name) = my name

I'm pretty sure this is right.  I can't speak the language well but if I really listen I can understand a lot of it (I used to live there).


This site looks pretty helpful... http://www.thejapanesepage.com/readarticle.php?article_id=7
