- When we state the existance of something we use `ga'. Also, when we use a
- sentence to explain who or what does something we use ga. For example:
- Hon ga arimasu. =There is a book.
- Nani ga arimasu ka. =What is there?
-
- Notice the words koko,soko,asoko,doko. The beginings of these words reappear
- in other words.For example:
- kore=this one sore=that one are=that one over there dore=which one?
- koko=here soko=there asoko=way over there doko=where?
-
- `Wa' means `speaking of'. `Watashi wa uchi e kaerimasu'=`speaking of me;
- I will return home'...or....`I will return home'.
- Anata wa nihongo benkyoo o shimasu. = You study Japanese.
- Kore wa nani desu ka. = What is this?
- The difference between wa and ga is a difficult thing to master.
- If we cut off the masu part of the verb and in it's place put -`mashoo'
- we get the mashoo form. It means `Let's ....'.
- For example `ikimashoo' means `let's go'.
- `kakimashoo' means `let's write'.
- `nomimashoo ka' means `shall we drink?'
