が (ga) #2 Ultimate Japanese Particle Guide - Learn Japanese Grammar

が
EXISTS
...

In my basics of Japanese book it also teaches that particle "ga" can be used to emphasize subject. For example, "watashi ga Tomi desu" ( I am Tomi ), if there is confusion which person is named Tomi during introduction.

But why if I want to say "I want to play piano " it is "watashi wa piano ga hikitai" and not "watashi wa piano ga hikitai desu"?

When all hope is lost just watch a JapanesePod101 to regain hope

I’m having trouble understanding this lesson.

Why do you not put desu on the last example?

I can use for ficction persons ? Because not exist but I go introduce the existence

What does" ga mata" mean

Thank you 😊❤️

But what is the negative form of ほしい and たい

me while studying with duolingo-sama

"私はお茶が飲みたいです”

i want to drink tea

duolingo: wrong

wha?? why???

duolingo: "i want to drink green tea

I still dont get it. Is it ok to do "Neko ga Hoshii" or "watashi wa neko ga hoshii desu"???

I finally get it :’)

Hi, I have a question.
1. "Hoteru ni baiten wa arimasu ka" or 2. "Hoteru ni baiten ga arimasu ka".
I know, the first sentence is correct, but the second sentence sounds better to me after watching this vid. Hope, someone can help me out.

She teach so nice.

I know why the picked pink car. ピンクガイ

This is why i wanna learn Japanese like its a first language. By your break down that didnt say you have a pet or there is a pet it says theres a pet in existence. Lol

In my textbook that i use (japanese from zero) they introduces "ga" as a particle for starting a sentence with a questions. E.g.: Dore ga kuruma desu ka? (Which one is a car?) Now i watched this video and get a different explaination. Your video makes more sense for "ga" to be an object marker since we have "wa" as an subject/topic marker. But my textbook confused me on that. Any clarification?

I’m just gonna answer a question I keep seeing in the comments unanswered:

“What’s the difference between 私はお茶が飲みたい vs 私はお茶を飲みたい？”

First off, Japanese don’t say 私は in any sentence unless they want to make it clear you want to talk about 私 (e.g., make 私 the topic of conversation, hence “topic marker”). Was there anybody else?

Don’t say 私はお茶が飲みたい unless there are others who want to drink something else.

Last, this video is a bit misleading; が would appear to be marking the “object of desire” if you analyzed its English translation; “I want to drink tea.” But something completely different is happening; it is not “I want to drink tea,” but rather “In relation to me (私は usually not said), tea is drink-desire inducing.” Because 飲みたい isn’t “want to drink tea,” it’s “drink-desire inducing.” Notice the たい at the end; that makes it behave like an adjective. “I want to drink tea” is a forced, artificial translation of what is going on so that it makes sense in English, but that’s not what is happening in Japanese.

So to answer a few questions, が isn’t marking an “object,” only を can do that. が marks the main actor of a sentence; it always does.

This might be difficult for non-Japanese speakers to grasp, but in Japanese sentences with たい, and other adjectives like 好き, the main actor is not 〇〇は (は marks the topic and only the topic) it is 〇〇が. To someone, a thing is 〇-able.

To make “I” (私) the main actor, you must mark it with が and to make the tea an object you must mark it with を. If you really must map Japanese onto the English sentence “I want to drink tea,” you can say 私がお茶を飲みたい, but you will be saying something that sounds strange to Japanese. Rather like “To me, tea is drink-desire-inducing” does in English.

And that, readers, is the difference between 私はお茶が飲みたい vs 私はお茶を飲みたい.

These are great video lessons. Put together well.

Instead of 「私はお茶(が)飲みたいです。」
Why not 「私はお茶(を)飲みたいです。」
Could you tell me the difference between these 2 structures?

From my understanding:
「あります, is used for the existence of non-living objects.
「います, is for the existence of living things.
「ほしいです, is when something is wanted.
「[ _ ]たいです, is when an action is wanted to be done.
According to the context, it shows possession or lack thereof.

So helpful video. Risa one thing to tell you.........You're soooo cute 😍 あなたは可愛いです。😍

T-T Why is this one really hard. I never know how to use it.

What is the name of the two lines which make ka into ga and ha into ba and so on

Is the account free?

Shit the English parts of this confuse me more than the Japanese lol

I don't get the different between imasu/arimasu and desu?
why "toile wa doko desuka?" its correct? shouldn't be "toile ga doko arimasuka?"

ここにみなさんわってもいいです

This was extremely easy to understand especially since there’s a “が” (가) Particle that essentially means the same thing in Korean ^^

ありがとごさいます

I have a question. I know it's already explained but, which is the right one? が食べたい (ga tabetai) or を食べたい (wo tabetai). If が食べたい is the right one, why did the movie "kimi no suizou wo tabetai use を食べたい? I know this is stupid but, i just wanna know.

risa u look good with long hairs

i dont get the tai part

I’m learn Japanese ok

私わ日本語を勉強が話します。

wow so imagine trying to say i have a pet but instead of using ga you used o... and the person who speaks japanese would think you have a dead pet.

Whenever I try to include が I mess up 😔

I get confused mainly with when to use を and が when speaking with verbs, I know を is for actions more. I still get confused, I would’ve said the example sentence “I want to drink tea” as 僕はお茶を飲みたいです。why is this incorrect over using が instead? Is it because I’m saying “I want to...”? If anyone can help out, please do! Thank you

finally

this was REALLY REALLY easy to understand. im only two weeks into studying japanese and i've learned a lot.

Edit: I study Japanese for 9 months. I stop Bc I’m busy with college(freshman). I learned so much but when it comes to grammar it gets pretty hard but it was a lot of fun tho❤️. The best Japanese teacher is “organic Japanese with cure dolly” she is best so check her out. Trust me she makes it really easy to understand it! Wish me luck with college eveyone!! I’m struggle with pre calc yuck

Honestly, they don't explain it well. I get it, but I also see that a lot of people are confused in the comment section. It's like they're reporting in class but just reading their report, not really helping their classmates to understand the topic they're reporting ✌

What's the difference between たいです and したいです ?

おかげさまで💖

Hello from France, interesting and well-made video! Thank you! It's dynamic and fun.
