Dropping the "ga" particle -
11-12-2017, 10:53 PM
My understanding is that the "ga" particle can be dropped in casual speech if it (the "ga" particle) can be inferred from the sentence's word order or context/situation.
Would it sound normal/natural to drop "ga" from these sentences?
Situation 1:
Your boss picked you (Tony is your name) to go on a business trip. Later that day, someone asks your friend, "Who will go?" (dare ga iku?). Your friend says:
トニが行く。 Tony (ga) iku. - Tony will go.
(verb ending)
Situation 2:
There is a table full of food. You want to tell your friend that the sushi in particular is delicious.
寿司が美味しい。 - sushi (ga) oishii. - The sushi is delicious.
(i-adjective ending)
Situation 3:
At a party, your friend warns you about another guest by saying:
あいつが病気。 - aitsu (ga) byouki. - That person over there is sick.
(noun ending)
Situation 4:
At a party, your friend warns you about another guest by saying:
あいつが警官。 - aitsu (ga) keikan. - That person over there is a policeman.
(noun ending)
Thanks!
