Particle の
In general the particle の puts between two nouns. You need to add the particle の no at the end of the added noun to indicate that it is a modifier.
“Noun1 of Noun2” is expressed as.“Noun2 の Noun1”.
Yet this の can be used more widely than the English “of”. It also makes adjectivals, indicates positions and makes possessive adjectives or pronouns, etc.
