- 0:15hi everyone
- 0:16welcome to the ultimate japanese
- 0:17particle guide particles are a very
- 0:20important part of the japanese language
- 0:22the particles used in a sentence give us
- 0:24critical information about the meaning
- 0:26so if the wrong particles are used the
- 0:28whole meaning of the sentence could
- 0:29change that's why it's very important to
- 0:32know how to use the different particles
- 0:33in japanese the word for particle in
- 0:36japanese is
- 0:40yoshi
- 0:42in this series we'll go over the main
- 0:44particles one by one in this lesson
- 0:46you'll learn the particle wa
- 0:52[Music]
- 0:57this particle is often referred to as
- 0:59the topic particle because it comes
- 1:01after the topic of the sentence and
- 1:02tells the listener what the sentence is
- 1:04about we can translate this as as for or
- 1:08speaking of in english
- 1:10let's see how it functions in a sentence
- 1:16this means as for tomorrow it's saturday
- 1:20let's break it down
- 1:23tomorrow
- 1:26as for
- 1:28notice that the particle is placed after
- 1:30the topic of the sentence then we have
- 1:34toyolbi
- 1:36saturday
- 1:38this is the copula which is the
- 1:40equivalent to is am or are in english so
- 1:44literally it means as for tomorrow
- 1:47saturday is but of course in natural
- 1:49speech we'd say tomorrow is saturday
- 1:53there's an important point to remember
- 1:55about this particle's pronunciation
- 1:57this particle is written as the hiragana
- 2:00however when used as a particle it is
- 2:02always pronounced
- 2:05now let's take a look at a few more
- 2:07examples
- 2:08shushima dokodeska
- 2:11literally as for your hometown where is
- 2:14it or
- 2:15where are you from
- 2:22literally as for today it's rainy or
- 2:25it's rainy today
- 2:32literally as for okinawa it's hot or
- 2:36it's hot in okinawa
- 2:44we can also use this particle to show
- 2:46contrast between two items or ideas
- 2:49when we use it in this way we mark the
- 2:51two items being contrasted with what
- 2:55how does it work
- 2:57for example if we want to contrast the
- 2:59object of a sentence we replace the
- 3:01particle
- 3:06this will make more sense when you hear
- 3:07some examples so can we hear an example
- 3:17this means i eat fish but i don't eat
- 3:20meat
- 3:21please note that the topic i as in i eat
- 3:24is implied in this sentence
- 3:27let's examine our example sentence
- 3:29closely first let's start with the
- 3:31original sentences risa how do you say i
- 3:35eat fish
- 3:39the object which in this case is what i
- 3:41eat is sakana so sakana is marked by the
- 3:45particle
- 3:49okay and how do we say i don't eat meat
- 3:53meat
- 3:54is
- 3:56the negative form of tavemas
- 4:09so now to contrast these two sentences
- 4:12we replace the particle
- 4:15so that gives us
- 4:23but
- 4:25so by using wa in this sentence
- 4:28we are putting a lot of contrast between
- 4:30the two items i eat fish but i don't eat
- 4:33meat
- 4:34along with the particle
- 4:36the particle ga can also be replaced
- 4:39with wa to show contrast
- 4:43in english we often show this same kind
- 4:45of contrast through intonation
- 4:48let's take a look at a few more examples
- 4:55i have time but i don't have money
- 5:00[Music]
- 5:04i like dogs but i don't like cats
- 5:15i like ice cream but i don't like cake
- 5:20in this lesson you learned about the
- 5:22particle
- 5:28in this lesson you learn the particle
- 5:30gap
- 5:35[Music]
- 5:39this particle is often referred to as
- 5:41the subject particle it can also mark
- 5:43the object for certain verbs and
- 5:45adjectives as a subject particle it
- 5:47indicates existence
- 5:50right so ga is often used with arimas
- 5:54and imasu meaning to have or to exist
- 5:59let's see how it functions in a sentence
- 6:02associated
- 6:06this means there's a convenience store
- 6:08over there
- 6:11let's break it down
- 6:16over there
- 6:18konbini
- 6:21convenience store
- 6:25this is the particle marking the subject
- 6:31this is the verb to talk about the
- 6:33existence of something just like we'd
- 6:35say there is or there are in english
- 6:40remember that to talk about the
- 6:41existence of animate things such as
- 6:43people and animals you should use
- 6:49when some people pronounce this particle
- 6:50it can sound nasally
- 6:53right it sounds like
- 6:56both ga and nga are acceptable so don't
- 6:59worry too much
- 7:02now let's take a look at a few more
- 7:04examples
- 7:09literally it means there is a pet but it
- 7:12actually means i have a pet
- 7:21literally it means there is homework or
- 7:24i have homework
- 7:32this sentence is negative and it
- 7:34literally means there aren't any
- 7:36siblings which is like saying i don't
- 7:39have any siblings
- 7:48we can also use this particle to mark an
- 7:50object of desire with certain verbs or
- 7:52adjectives
- 7:54right for example we can mark the object
- 7:57of an adjective of desire such as
- 8:00hoshides i want or the stem of a verb
- 8:04plus tides
- 8:06which means i want to verb
- 8:10let's see how it functions in a sentence
- 8:16this means i want time let's break it
- 8:19down
- 8:24which means i is the topic or subject of
- 8:27this sentence so it's marked by the
- 8:28particle
- 8:33please note that the watashiwa part is
- 8:35often omitted since hoshi is used only
- 8:39in the first person
- 8:40then we have the object what the speaker
- 8:42wants
- 8:47notice that the particle marking the
- 8:49object is
- 8:52finally we have
- 8:54hoshides
- 8:57this is an adjective and means i want
- 9:01let's give an example with a verb
- 9:04by using the stem of a verb plus tai
- 9:07you can say watashi ochanomitai

- 20:44various time expressions
- 20:47in english the preposition we use
- 20:49changes depending on the expression we
- 20:50use for example we say at seven o'clock
- 20:54because we use at with time
- 20:56on monday because we use on with days of
- 20:59the week and in june because we use in

- 21:50and linen next year cannot be marked by
- 21:54the particle
- 21:56let's take a look at a few more examples

- 32:13between each word let's keep going
- 32:16how do you say a b
- 32:19c and d
