Thanks once again :)
Thanks so much because this makes a lot more sense now when I read it over and am sure that I have a much more clear background knowledge on the topic of when to use “ha” vs. “ga” as well as sentence structure! :-)
I’ve analyzed what you said and have made a couple of observations
1. We put “ha” before “asagohan” and “ga” after “asagohan”, is this always the case?
2. Is it even possible for a sentence to have two “ha” particles or two “ga” particles?
3. Is it possible to have a “ga” particle” and then have a “wa” particle follow it up?
ex. Hideki-san ga juku wa kirai desu.
Hideki hates cram school.
I personally don’t think this sentence is grammatically correct and instead should be as follows
Hideki-san wa juku ga kirai desu.Otouto ha asagohan ga kirai desu ka?
Does your brother hate breakfast?
Iie, otouto ha asagohan ga kirai jyaarimasen.
No, my brother does not hate breakfast.
Watashi ha asagohan ga kirai desu.
I hate breakfast.
I edited it and this is my new version.Im understanding this a bit better now, does that mean that when answering questions you almost always go with “ga” because theyre asking you if you like that certain subject. As opposed to “ha” which you would use usually only in situations when you have to make it clear that YOU like the subject
ex. otouto-san wa asagohan ga kirai desu ka?
does your brother hate breakfast?
iie, watashi no otouto-san wa asagohan ga kirai jyaarimasen. Watashi ga asagohan wa kirai desu. (emphasis on myself over here)
no, my brother does not hate breakfast. I hate breakfast.
Is this kinda right?Thanks for the help! Understand it much better now
^^agreed, you should do your best to try and learn both kunyomi and onyomi readings. Experience will help judge when to use each one. I myself am thinking of purchasing the Wanikani premium since it has a better focus on kanji than TextFugu.
Clears up a lot of confusion I had going into kanji with on’yomi and kun’yomi readings.. Im guessing for all the beginner kanji learners out there we should follow the basics such as on’yomi when compound of multiple kanji and kun’yomi when hiragana follows kanji.. It will come with experience I’m guessing?
