L1: Telling Time

16 cards available

Read this first

The absolute foundation of Japanese sentences.

General form: [Topic] は [Something] です = 'As for Topic, it is Something.' Think of です as an '=' sign — the whole point of the sentence sits in the noun right before it. は is the topic marker (written は but pronounced 'wa' — one of Japanese's most-forgotten quirks).
