87
What's happening?
Nanka atto no?
88
no
is used at the end of sentences, basically in the same way as an English tag question. If said with rising intonation, it indicates a request for confirmation from the listener (i.e. “It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it?” ), whereas if said with falling intonation, it’s used as rhetorical device (i.e. “It’s a beautiful day, isn’t it.” )
89
ga
marks the grammatical subject of a sentence when it is first introduced to a conversation
90
wa
follows the topic the speaker wants to talk about. Therefore, wa（は）is often called topic marking particle. The “topic” is often the grammatical subject
91
ni
indicates a place toward where someone or something moves. It is preceded by the name of the place and followed by a verb which indicates a moving action such as iku (行く) “to go.”
92
o
marks the grammatical object of a sentence. It follows nouns and noun phrases
93
mo
functions as “also” or “too” in English. It is used to indicate that something that has previously been stated also holds true for the item currently under discussion
94
de
used to indicate location of an action. The performer of the action (the subject) is followed by either of the particles wa or ga, and the place is followed by de
95
kara
indicates the source of an object or action. This starting position may be either a point in space (in which case it is translated as “from”), or a point in time (in which case it is translated as “since” or “after”).
96
made
indicates that an action/effect extends or reaches a specified limit or a point in time or space. It is therefore equivalent to the English expression “until.”
97
to
is used to join nouns together into an exhaustive list that functions as a single noun: ”with”, “and”.
98
ya
is used in the same way as the first sense of と, but the list is not exhaustive. It means “such things as A, B, and C”.
99
ne
```
indicates possession (functioning like the English “apostrophe-S”). In the structure A no B, B belongs to A, however, many nouns act like adjectives when followed by no.
It directly follows nouns and noun phrases
```
100
yo
is used by the speaker to express a strong conviction about something or to emphatically declare something.
