![I'm having one of those moments where I'm like.
Annoyed by How Languages Are Taught again...
And it's always the basic bitches that i come back to, the simple boys, the words or phrases that are like, fundemental. I can talk to you for hours about all the intricacies of topic particles, and comment phrases, and how inclusive topics marked by も (mo) are different from exclusive topics marked by は (wa).
And I just realized a way way way way way simpler way to think about it.
は (wa) is a word you put at the end of another word, to say [word] is different
You can then say all the things that make it different.
も (mo) is a word you put at the end of another word, to say [word] is the same
You can then say all the things that make it the same.
"different from what?" "same as what?" You decide that part. You figure it out.
田中さんはビールを飲んでいる
Tanaka-san wa biiru o nondeiru.
Tanaka-san is different (because) he is drinking beer.
It means that Tanaka's drinking beer, and other people aren't. Someone else isn't drinking beer, but Tanaka is. That means I'm talking about Tanaka, and no one else. That's what an exclusive topic is.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:e2psrrzhz7d6eahgaligsxj5/bafkreig6e3npiegj3hpclytpbsey5zcmymxtqmqdg6io6vtujms5ccpwsi)
