Hello everyone,
Here is a new article around Japanese particles: the particle を.
Pronounciation
Be careful that when used as a particle を is pronounced [o] and not [wo].
Function
The function of the particle を is to indicate the object complement of a sentence.
を | {object} | Indicates that what precedes is the object complement of the sentence. |
Examples
If you want to say that you are eating ramen for instance, you would say:
わたし は すし を たべます。
[watashi wa sushi o tabemasu.]
アリスさん は ほん を よみます。
[ARISU-san wa hon o yomimasu.]
When the topic is obvious, as we saw while discussing the use of the particlés は and が, the topic can be implied:
てがみ を かきます。
[tegami o kakimasu.]
As you can see, there is no complexity at all with using this particle.
Exercise
Let’s make some sentences with the words indicated using the particle を:
テレビ
TEREBI
mimasu
テレビ を みます。
コーヒー
KO~HI~
nomimasu
コーヒー を のみます。
Here we are for this lesson. Do not hesitate to comment or ask questions!
