It's me again


Last posts, we learned about a few thing; they were: particles, は(wa), を(o), の(no) uses as particles.

Today's particle of the day is:

が・ga

が is the grammatical subject marker. In other words, whatever words come before が are the grammatical subjects of that sentence.

(Not to be confused with は・wa, which is the topic marker)



私はケーキが好きです・わたしはケーキがすきです・watashi wa ke-ki ga sukidesu

In this sentence, 私(watashi = I, me) is followed by は, which means that "watashi" is the topic of this sentence.
In other words, It means "As for I"

While ケーキ(cake) is followed by が which means that "cake" is the gramatical subject of this sentence.

So, this sentence translates to "as for me, I like cake" (cake looks like object in the translated version, but in japanese it is still subject)


(I am not lieing I swear)

が is used to emphasize a subject.



If someone say's "that is cake" and you want to emphasize that it is cake it would sound something like
"That is cake",
Well, in japanese, they just use the particles が

Person 1: あれはケーキ・a re wa ke-ki　（that is cake)
Person 2 (emphasizing that it's cake) あれがケーキ・a re ga ke-ki (that is cake)

Also, が emphasizes the word before it, so here it is emphasizing "that"

If you have any questions please ask me, and I will try my best to answer😊

Note: I am also learning japanese myself, so I might have made some mistakes. I did try to fact check everything before I wrote it, but I am only human after all. So if you spot any mistakes, please tell me🙏

That is all everyone
Have a great day and thanks for reading😊

I decided to keep this one short for obvious reasons, but don't worry since these two uses are the only ones that I learned and they will suffice for the basic stuff.
