The difference between は and が particle part 1
This is one of the most difficult and complicated topic of Japanese language learning. And I have to say It's probably one of the most important part of Japanese language.
.
In this video I will be teaching the difference between WA particle and GA particle and there will be a test time at the end of video.
I hope this video will help you a lot of Japanese learners and make Japanese learning a lot easier and a lot more fun!
Thank you!

I think of it like how we stress words in english. "when is the test?" And I said "It's tomorrow" (は). Then someone else who didn't hear went "Wait it's today?!" And I said "No, TOMORROW" (が). It may be confusing but that's how I see it

@johndelilo6038 4 года назад

When someone aks the question 'When is the test?" and you replied only with "It's tomorrow", then I don't think you would use は after tomorrow. You probably would just answer 明日[あした]です. Maybe Miku can clarify this.

@XerxesTexasToast 3 года назад

Watching this is making me realize how tonal and context-dependent ENGLISH is. _"This_ movie is interesting!" (picking an interesting movie out of a lineup of multiples) and "this movie is _interesting!"_ (talking about a movie you're already watching) is basically the difference between the が form and the は, respectively. Super cool! I couldn't wrap my head around that when I first learned this part of the language a few years back.

Why is wa written with this hiragana は? Isn't this わ the hiragana for wa and, は used for ha ?

@genzuo 4 года назад

It's a little bit complicated, but long ago は (along with ひ, ふ, へ and ほ) used to be pronounced as pa pi pu pe po, which then shifted to fa fi fu fe fo, then wa wi wu we wo. at some point the japanese government decided to reform it so that pronunciations were a lot more phonetic so as to avoid confusion, but cases with particles (and some other things) like は(わ)、へ(え)、を(お)、etc. remained the same as those pronunciations were so wide spread and commonly used that they ended up just leaving them the way they were. I may have gotten some things wrong but that is the general gist of it.

@PixelDoodles 4 года назад

@@genzuo Oh thanks for that, I would get confused

@genzuo 4 года назад

は is pronounced ‘ha’ in words and things but it is pronounced wa when using it as a particle to connect words

@KayOScode 4 года назад

@@beardyfoxy technically, こんにちは is not a single word. It combines こんにち and the particle は. Just like with こんしゅう and ことし, the こ at the beginning means it refers to the current. Therefore こんにち directly translates to 'this day'. People used to greet each other with こんにちは effectively saying: 'as for this day...' Expecting the other person to finish the sentence in reply. Its not used like this anymore, but thats why it sounds like wa in that word.

captain cook The grammar just confuses things until you have a general idea of how things are conveyed. Learning set patterns that usually have several exceptions is probably not the best way to learn a language. That is why most people don’t learn a language in school even though we are almost all forced to take at least 2 years of a language.
