Some Questions on Japanese

eh, guys, I don't have a Japanese IME on the system I am using here,
so when you use Japanese letters or Chinese Characters, they just appear
as computer jargon. I do appreciate all your help, this is one of the two most
helpful forums I've found! (the other one is blenderunderground.com , which is
a 3D animation forum; I'm an animator.) so... 'no' is like the Chinese 'de'?(as far
as ownership)...like one would say 'that is that is miko chan no hat. .....?

or is it like the relationship between two ideas like 'de' is in the example I gave earlier?
(speak 'de' good!)
Here's the explanation regarding the particle "no," "de."

As becki-san wrote, I also recommend to get a Japanese grammar textbook.;-)
 
can i say はしってたのしみますか? to mean do you look forward to/enjoy running?
走(はし)って楽(たの)しみますか?
It means "do you run and enjoy?"
One of the usages of te-form is to put two verbs in one sentence, "do ~
and do ~".
Look forward to ~ : ~するのをたのしみにする
alternatively ~するのがたのしみだ/です
enjoy ~ing : ~するのをたのしむ
alternatively ~するのがたのしい

~の can be replaced by ~こと

I'm looking forward to running
はしるのがたのしみです。
はしるのをたのしみにしています。

I enjoy running
はしるのがたのしいです。
はしるのをたのしんでいます。
