Japanese は and が Particles in 2 Minutes | (WA) vs (GA)

- WA vs GA. は vs が. The BANE of Japanese learners. The Japanese は and が particles are often mixed up, for starters because it's taught that BOTH は (HA) and が (GA) can be subject markers. But... that's not quite right. In this short video, I clear up a few misconceptions about the は (HA) particle and が (GA) particle.
This is a JLPT N5 Japanese Grammar point that appears in various Genki 1 lessons. Genki is a Japanese language learning textbook.

this makes much more sense than just "topic" and "subject" markers....
Been living in Japan for years. You finally explained it in a way I understand. It makes complete sense now. Thank you. A 2 minute video covering a simple concept, that textbooks just gloss over entirely. Brilliant!
I already know 30 seconds into this video that the comments are gonna be full of sentences like "You saved my life" and "I will give you my firstborn daughter!!!"
A few weeks ago my Japanese mum replied with “it’s just how Japanese works” when I asked her so thank you for explaining it 😭
Why can't everyone explain things like this, it would be so much easier to learn 😭 Thank you Andy 🙏
I know many people have already said it, but
I have been teaching languages for 11 years and learning Japanese for 4. You did a damn fine job explaining this.
Now this is what i'm talking about, the topic/subject wasn't really clear, as a third language it confused me, the left and right side of the phrase made sense, also i was thaught that ga introduces new things to the conversation, so バナナが好きです makes sense, if we are talking about fruits we like, i'm introducing the banana to the group i like to the conversation.
i just spent an hour reading a 45 page thesis looking document about wa and ga and you did the job in less than 3 minutes. thank you andy!! subbed!!
I really like the panel of business people questioning me about my preferences from the fruit tray LOL. That actually helped a lot
Mind. Is. Blown. How can it actually be that simple? Amazing explanation!
Finally, an explanation that makes sense! Fot years, I was like, "But what's the difference between a subject and a topic?!"
I've been studying 日本語 on and off for about 16 years. Numerous explanations I have seen that had only baffled and discouraged me and now a 2 minute 39 second video has explained this to me in the most clear and concise way. If only I had seen something like this before, I would have saved a lot of time and energy and grief. As they say in "Tanken Factory": good job! ありがとうございました。。。
I think that the problem focuses on comparing は and が as if they play the same role. In japanese you use the particles (mostly) to indicate which part of the sentence the previous idea is.
Best video on は vs が there is! Examples were on point!
This is by far the best explanation I ever came across on は/が topic. Great job, Andy. 👏👏👏
Thank you so much Andy! This really helps clear up something that had been confusing me for several months!
Been loving the shorter form videos lately! so easy to digest while being immensely helpful! Thank you!
Finally someone explains it in an understandable way! ありがとうございます🙏
