8.6 -0-EXPLANATION
-0-5 I ':'n', 'this', indicates a thing/things near the speaker, not near the listener.
'-rn', 'that', indicates a thing/things near the listener, not near the speaker.
-0-7 Particle '7.p'is used at the end ofa sentence to change the sentence into
a question.
Note: There is no question mark (?) in Japanese. All sentences end with a '0 '
Like 7J\ id. too is a sentence- final particle. It is used by the speaker
seeking agreement with the listener and normally the listener agrees with
her/him. It corresponds to question tags in English such as "Isn't it?",
"Don't you (think so)?"
Ex: ':'nli -1/' r-"O) ~Te-Tid.o This is a map of India, isn't it?
-0-9 If the subject is understood from the context (previous sentences), then it
is normally omitted. (See example sentences 2 and 3 in unit 8)
