can u make a video on how to use ga, ka no, de, wa, etc. something like that.. sorry but its confusing me.... i dont know how to use it in a sentence.... arigato, nice video gambatte!

[arishachan777]

@dlareg02011989 ga and wa are the hardest to explain. I'll give you a short explanation here, I'm kind of busy right now but I'll let you know if I created any videos about it.

Ga is the subject marker while wa is a topic marker. Specifically, "ga" is more literal, and wa is kind of just hovering over the sentence.

"What is your name?"

"Watashi wa Izu desu."

"Who is Izu?"

"Watashi ga Izu desu."

You can simply type the syllables in google. It's everywhere. :)

Thanks for watching!

I agree with some of the others here...it would be great if you made a version of this with pronunciation...and don't say you're terrible at it, 'cause I have your romance phrases video bookmarked! :-)

[arishachan777]

@ARY1031 Oh wow! thank you for that! :D I think I'll make a video of this w/ pronunciation. But my only free time is next week, so I guess it'll be posted here by then. :) Thanks again for your compliment, it made my day. <3

@arishachan777 yeah ur welcome. u were close though. How fluent are you? If you are still learning i have lesson

@dlareg02011989

wa is a particle that basically says "Im about to tell you something about the word before me"

so if it was Watashi wa it means that its about to tell you about "watashi" (which by the way means I.)

Ga comes after the SUBJECt of the sentence. If the sentence was "i like strawberries" The ga would come after strawbrries.

Ka is a question particle. It is used at the end ofsentences that are questitons. by the way if you want help with japanese i have lessons on my channel!
