What does, no desu ka mean?

Question

erm yeh?

Answer 1

Google says "desu" is a spoken period, "ka" is a question marker, and "no" is a possession marker.

This means you are missing a subject.

so, your fragment is sort of, "is it ____'s?"

Answer 2

Look it up

Answer 3

'desu ka' is a part of the Japanese language commonly used when asking a question. some of the examples are:

Which one ?   Dore desu-ka

Whose book is this? Kore-wa dare-no hon desu-ka

Is that Shintaro's, too? Are-mo Shintaro-san-no desu-ka

How much is that over there ?   Are-wa ikura-desu-ka (or simply ikura desu? for how much)

Answer 4

The ka makes it a question, no means of, and desu is like a state of being. (I picked this up from anime so yeah...have it double checked).

Answer 5

Well, was there any words before that? 'Ka' usually signifies that what is being stated is a question, but not always. 'Desu' can mean 'is'... For example: "Nan-desu ka?" means "What is it?"

So, until I know more about how "no desu ka" was being used, thats all I can tell you!

Answer 6

Desu is the verb "to be" and ka is a question particle. As for no, you need a noun after it it to make that work. Watashi no inu desu ka? Is my dog here?
