Talk:Particles (Japanese) (view source)
Revision as of 11:54, December 8, 2008
, 11:54, December 8, 2008great work - these are exceedingly minor points
I think what you really meant is that kanji is never used for particles. This actually leads to a more general point: that there are some ideas which cannot be expressed with kanji alone. For example, the tense of verbs is expressed with kanji: like (write) + shimash'ta => written. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 06:47, 8 December 2008 (EST)

==Pronunciation==
Any other idiosyncrasies besides wa and o? These are very likely to trip up the beginner, so I'd like to find a place to collect and highlight them. If you ever try to transliterate from kana to romaji (or vice versa) you would have to know about these particles. Do I write wa and say ha? Or vice versa? Let's help our readers (your students) be clear on this. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 06:54, 8 December 2008 (EST)
