Language Help!!!
 

I'm hearing things about Wa Ga and Wo but what are they? I'm still learning Japanese as a second language but I am a beginner and would like to know the meaning. ^^
Also, is there a different ways to say something? Like if you're a girl do you say things differently from the way you would if you were a boy? Like I've seen some people say that Bokuno namae (name) Desu is my name is (Blank) but some people say Watashi no Name wa (Name) desu is the same thing. What's the difference????? :confused:

^^
 

Also, I would like to know if anyone could tell me some websites that could help me with the language. ^^ Arigato

wa, ga, no blah whatever r just filler words. they change the tense sumtimes. sumtimes u say it when ur saying a word after a word. like if u said watashi ur still saying I then if u say watashi wa usually sumthing follows. just filler words.

This is why you should be careful about asking questions on the Internet, Kandierain15.

Do a google search on "Japanese particles" and you will see how these "filler words" are pretty darn important. If you are just starting your Japanese stufy, though, don't worry too much about getting it perfect. Surely you teacher will help along the way.

i don't mean filler word there important but they mean nothing alone and that means filler words

Well... particles don't actually change the tense of anything, either.

Wa and Ga are similar, you'll learn quickly when to use which one.

Ni indicates where something's located, where you're going, and much more. He means the same as Ni, but I never hear it used.

If your friend says "Watashi wa sushi ga suki" (I like sushi) you can say "Watashi mo" (Me too)

There are many more.

Particles are gonna be your best friend and your worst enemy. After kanji. Screw kanji.

That is NOT true, I'm afraid.　Please consider the following examples.　

Correct: 東京に住む

Incorrect:　東京へ住む

Correct：　大阪にしばらく滞在する

Incorrect:　大阪へしばらく滞在する

And unlike you, I hear 'he' used on a daily basis. Examples:

マックへ行こうかなあ、それとも家で食べようかなあ・ ・・
（Wondering if I should go to Macdonald's or eat at home..）

街へ出かける前にシャワーに入りたい。
(I want to take a shower before going into town.)

yes they don't mean nothing alone, but once incorporated into the sentence it will change the whole context of what you are trying to say..

I think masaegu's example explained it all.

be careful when giving answers especially if you don't know what you are talking about :vsign: :cool:

Arigato. I'm still a little confused but I think I can figure it out in time. Thanks for all the help.
