In [[Japanese grammar]], particles (''joshi'' 助詞) mostly function as prepositions, but as they always follow the words they mark, they can be referred to "post-positions". They can also function as conjunctions and interjections. The particles are never inflected - they maintain their form, regardless of where in a sentence they appear.  

In [[Japanese grammar]], particles (''joshi'' 助詞) mostly have the same connective function as [[preposition]]s in European languages, but as they always follow the words they mark, they can be referred to "post-positions". They can also function as conjunctions and interjections. The particles are never inflected - they maintain their form, regardless of where in a sentence they appear.  

They show the relationship of a word, phrase, or clause to the rest of the sentence; they can also add a meaning or nuance to that word. There are some particles with English equivalents; others functions in a similar manner to English prepositions; and there are some uniquely Japanese particles, which are not found in English.
