or
Yesterday while having a meal, we (達と?) had the meeting of london concert with Miyo san.
(I can't understand why there's Miyoさん達と and the 'meeting of London live'.
It should not be a meeting about the London Live? Why there's the ' の'? It sound strange for me).
+ "達と" can be used to do the plural, for example, if you put that next the japanese word 'student', it become 'students' (plural).
But in this case, since the name of the person is one, Miyo san, how it become plural?
Thanks if you can clarify this!  |
「の」 is the most-often used particle in Japanese and it can be translated into a few words: of, about, in, at, etc.
ロンドンライブの打ち合わせ = discussion of the London live concert
イタリアの本 = a book on Italy
東京のレストラン = restaurants in Tokyo
_________
Miyoさん達 means "Miyo and others", "Miyo and his/her people/friends/associates", etc. It does not say "many Miyos" or "multiple Miyos"
