'Sup.
Today I want to ask about a grammatical peculiarity which I've noticed quite a lot in my years of Japanese-learning.
I sometimes come across relative clauses, or more specifically attributive verbs, which are preceded by a の even though I'd use a が there. What's that の doing there?
Some examples (from pop culture, since I can't remember any better ones):
Are が and の interchangeable here? What's the difference exactly if you use が or の?
