Object & Verbs
Remarks:
  • In Japanese, the subject of sentence need not be expressed when it can easily be understood. For example the subject “I” need not be there for a sentence like this:

Nihon go o hanashimasu. (I) speak Japanese.

  • The object consists of two elements
i)                   a noun – e.g. mado (window)
ii)                a marker, the particle “o” whose function is to point out the word preceding it as the object of the sentence.
