We’ll be going over the 7 most common particles in Japanese.

Particles are basically just small grammar words, and I’m pretty sure
verb conjugation and adjective conjugation don’t classify as particles.

1) は (wa) particle

Often known as the “topic marker”, as it emphasises the text that

comes after it. I like to TL this as “is”, “am”, “are”. If you’re a beginner,
you’re probably wondering why it’s not “ha” instead of “wa”. It’s only
pronounced “wa” when used as a grammatical structure (particle).
Every time you see this は in a sentence, you should make it a habit to
always read it as “wa”, because that’s what it usually is. Pronounce it
as “ha” when it indicates the pronunciation of a Kanji though.

Example:

僕は結構幸せです。

Boku wa Kekkou Shiawase desu.

I am pretty happy.

2) が (ga) particle

1. This is similar to は (wa), however, it indicates what comes

before it.
Example:

お前のことが好き.

Omae no koto ga suki.

You are the one who I like/love.

2. It can also be used as “but”, “however’, etc.

Example:

綺麗ですが、高いです。

Kirei desu ga, Takai desu.

It’s pretty, but it’s expensive.

3) を (o) particle

Known as the “direct action” particle. I recommend studying this one a

bit more, since I think it’s pretty difficult for English speakers to
understand.

Example:

魚を食べた。

Sakana wo Tabeta.
I ate fish.

4) の (no) particle

People tend to find this one easy to understand. It indicates

possession.

俺の- (ore no) Mine

彼の- (kare no) His

彼たちの - (karetachi no)Their

Example:

それは俺の物です。

Sore wa Ore no mono desu.

That is my thing.

5) も (mo) particle

Just means “too” or “also”, this one isn’t hard.

彼女もわかった。

Kanojo mo wakatta.
She also understood.

6) に (ni) particle.

1. This particle has a lot of meanings, and it’s pretty tough. We’ll
just go over the basic ones. First, it emphasizes existence at a
location.

東京に住んでいます。

Toukyou ni Sundeimasu.

I live in Tokyo (indicating existence)

2. It also makes an adverb. Think of it as “ly”.

必死に走った

Hisshi ni Hashitta.

I desperately ran.

7) で (de) particle

1. Last one for the day. This one is similar to the first usage we
covered for に (ni) earlier. A location is involved, however, it
emphasizes an action instead of an existence.

家でゲームをした。
Ie de Geemu wo shita.

I played games at home.

2. It can also be used as “with”, or “by means of”.

ナイフで切ってください。

Naifu de Kittekudasai.

Please cut it with a knife.
