Simple translations -- Going to Tokyo soon

[GoldCoinLover]

I've always loved the language japanese. I mean, just their culture is amazing. Japan has very little crime compared to america, and is technologically superior. Anyway, I have a few questions. I'm going to buy a few imported games from Japan, I do not know japanese fluently. I could barely make a sentence.

Neko is cat, no?

So how would you say, "I have a cat." "Neko no watashi .. ?"

I don't know :arghh:

In japanese, the kana "no" is possesive. For example, if a cat owned something. It would be "Neko no <whatever the cat owns>" right?

Bear with me here..

I think I have the idea, although twisted.

How would you say start in japanese? For example, in a game ,the "Start" button.

"watashi wa eigo wakarimasu." = I understand english.
"anata wa eigo wakarimasu ka?" = "Do you understand english?"

Thanks for the help

I have a cat
私は猫を持っています
watashi ha neko wo motteimasu (ha is pronounced wa, and wo is pronounced o)

Start (as in the start button)
スタート ボタン
sutaato botan

BTW, I love Made in Wario and am definitely getting Sawaru Made in Wario. Over 180 mini games!

I have a cat
私は猫を持っています
watashi ha neko wo motteimasu (ha is pronounced wa, and wo is pronounced o)

Hmm, this makes a pet sound a little bit too much like an inanimate object for my liking. I'd suggest 「猫を飼っています」 (neko wo katte imasu) or simply 「猫がいます」 (neko ga imasu).

Also, personal pronouns are typically omitted in Japanese when the context is clear, so you can get rid of 「私は」 (watashi wa) unless you really need to make it clear that you're talking about yourself. Same goes for the "watashi wa" and "anata wa" in your example sentences from the original post.
