Cheat Sheet

  1. 㝯 vs 㝌: Topic vs Subject -

    The particle 㝯 marks the general topic or contrast, while 㝌 highlights new or specific subjects. For example, 猫㝯㝋ゝ㝄㝄㝧㝙 (As for cats, they are cute) versus 猫㝌好㝝㝧㝙 (I like cats). A helpful mnemonic is "TOPic 㝯, suBject 㝌" (source: Genki I).

  2. を: Marking Direct Objects -

    Use を to mark the direct object of a verb, answering "what" or "whom" the action affects. For instance, パンを食㝹㝾㝙 means "I eat bread," directly linking the bread with the eating action. This rule is confirmed by NHK World Japan and widely taught in beginner textbooks.

  3. 㝫 vs 㝸: Destination and Time Marker -

    Particles 㝫 and 㝸 both indicate direction, but 㝫 also marks precise destinations and time. Example: 学校㝫行㝝㝾㝙 (I go to school) pinpoints the target, while 学校㝸行㝝㝾㝙 emphasises movement toward a place. Remember "㝫 = precise" to lock in the nuance (source: Tae Kim's Guide).

  4. 㝧: Location and Means -

    Use 㝧 to indicate where an action takes place or the means by which it happens. For example, 公園㝧靊㝳㝾㝙 (I play in the park) and ポス㝧行㝝㝾㝙 (I go by bus). This distinction is clearly outlined in JLPT N5 official materials.

  5. 㝋ら & 㝾㝧: Start and End Points -

    The pair 㝋ら and 㝾㝧 mark the start and end points in time or space, respectively. For example, 9時㝋ら5時㝾㝧僝㝝㝾㝙 (I work from 9 to 5) and 家㝋ら学校㝾㝧歩㝝㝾㝙 (I walk from my house to school). A simple way to remember is "from 㝋ら, to 㝾㝧" (source: Nihongo-Pro University).
