Particle は and が[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
In Japanese, particles are used to indicate the relationship between words in a sentence. One of the most important particles in Japanese is "は" (wa) and "が" (ga). These particles are used to indicate the subject of a sentence. In this lesson, you will learn how to use and differentiate the particles "は" and "が" in Japanese sentences.
The Particle は[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
The particle "は" (wa) is used to indicate the topic of a sentence. It is often used to introduce a new topic or to contrast one topic with another. "は" does not indicate the grammatical subject of the sentence, but rather the subject that the speaker wants to talk about.
Here is an example:
Japanese | Pronunciation | North Azerbaijani |
---|---|---|
私は学生です。 | Watashi wa gakusei desu. | Mən tələbəyəm. |
Topic: 私 (watashi) | Mövzu: Mən | |
Translation: I am a student. | Tərcümə: Mən tələbəyəm. |
In the example above, the particle "は" is used to indicate that the speaker wants to talk about himself/herself. The sentence translates to "I am a student."
The Particle が[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
The particle "が" (ga) is used to indicate the grammatical subject of a sentence. Unlike "は," it does not indicate the topic of a sentence.
Here is an example:
Japanese | Pronunciation | North Azerbaijani |
---|---|---|
私が学生です。 | Watashi ga gakusei desu. | Mən tələbəyəm. |
Subject: 私 (watashi) | Mövzu: Mən | |
Translation: I am a student. | Tərcümə: Mən tələbəyəm. |
In the example above, the particle "が" is used to indicate that the speaker is the subject of the sentence. The sentence translates to "I am a student."
Difference between は and が[redaktə | mənbəni redaktə et]
The difference between "は" and "が" can be confusing for beginners. Here are some guidelines to help you differentiate the two particles:
- "は" is used to indicate the topic of a sentence. It is not used to indicate the grammatical subject of a sentence. - "が" is used to indicate the grammatical subject of a sentence. It is not used to indicate the topic of a sentence. - If "は" and "が" appear in the same sentence, "は" usually indicates the topic, while "が" indicates the grammatical subject.
Here is an example:
Japanese | Pronunciation | North Azerbaijani | |||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
私は学生ですが、友達が医者です。 | Watashi wa gakusei desu ga, tomodachi ga isha desu. | Mən tələbəyəm amma dostum həkimdir. | |||
Topic: 私 (watashi) | Mövzu: Mən | Subject: 友達 (tomodachi) | Mövzu: Dostum | ||
Translation: I am a student, but my friend is a doctor. | Tərcümə: Mən tələbəyəm amma dostum həkimdir. |
In the example above, "は" is used to indicate the topic of the sentence (the speaker), while "が" is used to indicate the grammatical subject (the friend). The sentence translates to "I am a student, but my friend is a doctor."
