We’ve seen the \u304c<\/strong> particle used in certain grammatical expressions like:<\/p>\n

\u5148\u751f\u304c\u597d\u304d\u3067\u3059<\/strong> = I like the teacher.<\/p>\n

(\u5148\u751f<\/strong> = \u305b\u3093\u305b\u3044<\/strong>\/teacher. \u304c<\/strong> = ga particle. \u597d\u304d\u3067\u3059<\/strong> = \u3059\u304d\u3067\u3059<\/strong>\/like)<\/p>\n

and \u5098\u304c\u3042\u308a\u307e\u305b\u3093<\/strong> = I don’t have an umbrella.<\/p>\n

(\u5098<\/strong> = \u304b\u3055<\/strong>\/umbrella. \u304c <\/strong>= ga particle. \u3042\u308a\u307e\u305b\u3093<\/strong> = don’t have)<\/p>\n

There are also other uses of \u304c<\/strong>. The \u304c<\/strong> particle can be used for emphasis:<\/p>\n

\u5c71\u4e0b\u3055\u3093\u304c\u305d\u308c\u3092\u3057\u307e\u3059<\/strong> = Mr. Yamashita will do it (that).<\/p>\n

(\u5c71\u4e0b<\/strong> = \u3084\u307e\u3057\u305f<\/strong>\/Yamashita. \u3055\u3093 <\/strong>= Mr. \u304c<\/strong> = ga particle. \u305d\u308c<\/strong> = that\/it. \u3092<\/strong> = direct object particle. \u3057\u307e\u3059<\/strong> = do)<\/p>\n

Also, \u304c<\/strong> is used after interrogative words:<\/p>\n

\u8ab0\u304c\u6765\u307e\u3057\u305f\u304b<\/strong> = Who came [here]?<\/p>\n

(\u8ab0<\/strong> = \u3060\u308c<\/strong>\/who. \u304c<\/strong> = ga particle. \u6765\u307e\u3057\u305f<\/strong> = \u304d\u307e\u3057\u305f<\/strong>\/came. \u304b<\/strong> = question marking particle.)<\/p>\n

\u304c<\/strong> is also used as a topic marking particle of a sentence:<\/p>\n

\u3042\u306e\u4eba\u304c\u9234\u6728\u3055\u3093\u3067\u3059<\/strong>\u3002\u5f7c\u5973\u306f\u3053\u3053\u306e\u5b66\u751f\u3067\u3059<\/strong> = That person over there is Ms. Suzuki. She is a student here.<\/p>\n

(\u3042\u306e = <\/strong>That over there. \u4eba = \u3072\u3068<\/strong>\/person. \u304c = <\/strong>ga particle. \u9234\u6728 = \u3059\u305a\u304d<\/strong>\/Suzuki. \u3055\u3093 <\/strong>= Ms. \u3067\u3059 = <\/strong>is.)<\/p>\n

(\u5f7c\u5973<\/strong> = She. \u306f = <\/strong>subject marking particle. \u3053\u3053 = <\/strong>here. \u306e = <\/strong>possession marking particle. \u5b66\u751f = <\/strong>student.\u3067\u3059 = <\/strong>is)<\/p>\n

The first sentence uses \u304c<\/strong> because the topic of the conversation concerning Ms. Suzuki hasn’t been introduced yet. The second sentence uses \u306f<\/strong> because Ms. Suzuki has already been introduced and therefore she is now the subject of the sentence. Therefore \u304c<\/strong> is used when we haven’t been introduced to someone’s identity yet.<\/p>\n
