Thank you for your help! ^___^

So does this mean that 'wo' denotes the direct object (almost always definitely) and 'ga' is something like a subject indicator? And 'wa' kind of denotes the 'owner' of the sentence?

Let's say, "watashi wa hana ga suki desu." (Thank you for the corrections!) Watashi is the topic (the 'owner') and hana is the subject? And in "watashi wa steak (suteeki?) o tabemasu", 'watashi' is the topic and 'steak' is the direct object? Aaand... does 'neko ga suteeki o taberu' make sense? I'm going with my instincts here, so I put in a 'ga' instead of 'wa'. If it is wrong, then... I guess 'wa' is correct. But if it is correct, why IS it 'ga'? If it is 'watashi WA suteeki o tabemasu' then why isn't it 'neko WA suteeki o taberu'? @_@

Just to make sure that I'm not failing in English grammar, in English (I like flowers), 'I' would be the subject and 'flowers' would be the direct object?

Thank you once again! m(_ _)m;;;;
