Q

A

The context particle is used to describe the context or the means in which a verb takes place. For example, if you’re eating at a restaurant, since the restaurant is not a direct target for eating, you wouldn’t use the 「に」 particle. Instead, you would use the 「で」 particle to describe the restaurant as the context in which eating is taking place

16
Q

A

While 「へ」 is normally pronounced as「へ」, this particle is pronounced as 「え」
The 「へ」 particle is similar in some ways to the 「に」 particle. However, while the 「に」 particle indicates a target for just about any verb, 「へ」 is more specifically used to indicate a direction of motion verbs such as “to go” or “to send”.
Because the 「に」 particle does everything 「へ」 does and more, this particle is not used as often as the other particles. However, it is still beneficial to be at least familiar with it.

17
Q

の-?

A

So in order to express this kind of biased question or answer, we add 「の」 to the end of the sentence to show that we are seeking or providing an explanation.
For nouns and na-adjectives, you also need to add 「な」 before 「の」
When the sentence has additional things following the 「の」 such as 「だ」 or 「です」, the 「の」 is replaced with 「ん」 to make pronunciation easier. While 「の」 can still be used, it is considered to be old-fashioned..

18
Q

よね

A

right?!
(If you want to sound masculine but still want to use the particle よね, you must add だ before other wise you will sound feminine-This only counts for nouns and な-adjectives, not い adjectives)
