Etymology 2
/pa/ → /ɸa/ → /wa/
From Old Japanese. Used in the oldest Japanese writings, including the Man'yōshū finished some time after 759 CE.[1][2] Ultimately from Proto-Japonic *pa.
The particle was excluded from the post-war script reform, rather than changed to わ (wa), which would be more phonetically accurate.
Pronunciation
Particle
は (wa)
- unique topic marker, often untranslatable
- what about, where is (used without a predicate to ask for more information about something)
- 中田は?
- Nakada wa?
- Where's Nakada?
- じゃ、意味は?
- Ja, imi wa?
- So, what's the meaning?
- 中田は?
- Inserted between two verbs for emphasis.
Usage notes
- Note that English has no direct counterpart. For illustrative purposes, it may be translated as "as for", "speaking of", or a similar phrase. For example, "As for this, it is a dog". This often does not produce very natural English, however.
- When inserted between two verbs for emphasis, は is usually used with negatives and after a て (te) form. This has given rise to ではない (de wa nai), the now standard negative form of だ (da).
- も (mo) vs は (ha): see も (mo).
- は always replaces を (o) and が (ga), but may follow other particles.
Derived terms
- ば (ba, the conditional conjugation ending)
- では (de wa, “then, well then, in that case”)
