Japanese 101

It was Greek to me. ~William Shakespeare

Japanese uses certain hiragana characters as particles which mark the grammatical function of a word or phrase in a sentence. Some hiragana are pronounced differently when used as a particle:

は (topic marker) is pronounced wa, also in こんにちは (kon'nichiwa)
へ (direction marker) is pronounced e
の (possessive marker) is pronounced no
