How to Say ‘Your’ in Japanese
お前の
omae no
[o-ma-e no]
💬 Usage Tip: [お前の] is just [お前] + [の], so it means "your." [の] links nouns the same way in [俺の船] ("my ship") or [政府の命令] ("the government's order").
🇯🇵 In Japan: [お前] is rough and blunt. Between close male friends it can be casual, but in conflict it easily sounds aggressive or belittling.
