Grammar Notes:
Learn Japanese grammar: か (ka). Meaning: か is a sentence-ending particle used to turn a sentence into a question. It’s easy to think of it like a question mark (which often is not used in Japanese).
Let’s start with a basic example sentence.
- 日本人です。
- nihonjin desu.
- I am Japanese.
Now by adding か we can turn this into a question:
- 日本人ですか。
- nihon jin desu ka.
- Are you Japanese?
か can also mean “or”, see lesson for か～か (ka~ka).
