Common Sentence-Ending Particles in Japanese
What is a sentence-ending particle?
Like Vietnamese, Japanese has a system of sentence-ending particles that convey the speaker’s feeling to the listener.
– They are used in speech only, and help the speaker put across their meaning and build a friendly relationship with the listener.
– The sentence-ending particles used are also a marker of male and female speech.
– They also reveal relative status between the speakers in a conversation.
In everyday conversation, sentence-ending particles matter a great deal: used well, they make what you say gentler, warmer and more natural. Used wrongly, they can cause needless trouble.
