==== Topic-Prominent Sentences ==== | ==== Topic-Prominent Sentences ==== | ||
If you want to emphasize a particular part of your sentence (often the object in the traditional subject-prominent word order), you can use the topic-prominent, or topic-comment word order, which allows you to place this first in the sentence. | |||
All nouns and pronouns used as topics must be marked with the topic marker suffix ''-wa'' (borrowed from the Japanese topic marker ''は wa''). The only exception is the first person singular pronoun ''joj'', whose topical form is ''jo-wa'' (not ''joj-wa''). After the topic comes the verb, and then the agent (which can be omitted if you use the implied agent form described above). | |||
