Subject and Direct Object Particles in Japanese We can now move on to the explanation of the subject particle -ga and the direct object particle -o. The particle -ga signals that the preceding noun phrase is the subject of the sentence; the particle -o signals that the preceding noun phrase is the direct object. (For the moment, we set aside the question of what the topic marker -wa is. ) Whereas English depends on word order to distinguish between the subject and the direct object, as shown below, The toddler chased the puppy.
Such entities are always marked with the topic marker unless they become newsworthy, as in the following exchange: Dare-ga asatte Nihon-e kaerimasu-ka. Watashi-ga asatte Nihon-e kaerimasu. ” So far, we have been contrasting the subject and the topic. The discussion might have given you the impression that the topic always has something to do with the subject. This is not the case. ” 44 These four sentences are related. The latter three sentences are generated from the first sentence by turning different noun phrases into the topic of the sentence.
Here it is useful to think a little more about what it means for a particle to turn a sentence into a question. The question particle -ka indicates that the information that the speaker is seeking is in the “territory” of the listener; the listener is in an authoritative position about the information. From this point of view, the particle -yo means that the information the sentence conveys belongs to the territory of the speaker; the speaker maintains an authoritative position about the information: Tooi-desu-yo.
