Definitely one of the easier particles. But I wonder, why is Yoko spelled よう子, and not ようこ? Does the kanji for ko(子) signify that it's a name and not a word? I know kanji is often used to shorten sentences, but sometimes it doesn't shorten the sentence or word and I wonder why it is even used. I'm still a beginner though, so I'm sure there's a reason for it.
I can't really answer this but all I know is the Kanji for Ko in Japanese means child. So I think it's emphasizing the fact she is Yoko but not that she's a child? They have the same for Tanaka, so I think it's just to shorten it during the sentence. I could be wrong.
Kanji is not used to “shorten” words. Kanji is the central system of writing. Kana are used in conjunction with some kanji as part of the word, and as grammatical articles and particles. Some words may be written entirely in kana, but in most of these cases this is for children/learners as it’s easier to read, or the kanji for the word is old and not used anymore and/or very complex, so has been jettisoned in favor of kana. Further, sometimes words are written in hiragana or katakana purely as a style choice/statement. Take 海老 for example. Usually written as エビ 🦐
Kanji were never meant to shorten sentences. Also there are many many words that are pronounced the same but have different kanji, that's how you differentiate them cause sometimes even the context won't help you in a written sentence. Only when you actually speak the context will make it clear what you're talking about
Good idea, explaining all the particles! It's not really an "ultimate" guide, if you leave out other meanings though... maybe you can make a bit more advanced videos about the other meanings, too?
It is super easy. I am bulgarian and in bulgarian language is like in english. It also can be like in japanese but that is going to there are a lot of repetitions. ありがとうございました。
Question! (And it might actually be a good one, for a change.) Are particles something unique to Japanese or east Asian languages in general, or do they have analogs in other languages?
There are many more complex uses of と so... you taught the easy first 2 uses that most people already know.... why is this video called “ultimate” guide?
"you taught the easy first 2 uses that most people already know..." Well probably "most" people in the world don't know them! I didn't know them. I'm a complete beginner and I found this easy to understand, digest and retain.

It's also used as a quoting particle for some verbs.
For an example:
お母さんはいつも家で*と*思う。
I think that mom is always at home.
That was much easier than I thought it might be, compared to other particles.
I know I’m 2 years late, but how much progress have you made?
@@iyemidesolomi426 I know I am a week late but did you make any progress
@@pianoten I’ve learned a lot Of particles.
it has other meanings too is a lot harder
@@iyemidesolomi426hows the progress
と is one of the easier particles. You can usually just use it as "and".
I can't believe I got so many notes from this 4 minute video !!
と(TO) can mean also IF or WHEN in some case
ありがとうございました！
why is the last part 「した」?
Formality :)

@@alejrandom6592 You change「す」to「した」to thank for something that was done in the past. ありがとうございました = thank you for what you did (in the past).

I found this very useful - thank you!
But If I want to say like "I had a meal with Mr. Tanaka and Mr. Hyde" How could I say it?

Sarah Lux Fontaine I agree, this is a nice introduction, but it would be awesome to also get a more advanced level explanations with the same quality.
When you said some people will omit the to particle, do they only omit the last one or do they omit all but the first one

If Yoko’s a name then why isn’t it in Katakana?
The names that are usually written in Katakana are foreign names, such as John or Maria. Yoko is a native Japanese name
