In many cases, when hiragana is used as a particle, its sound can be modified.

The function of this particle is to indicate the theme of the sentence (topic). In many cases, the topic of the sentence is also the subject, and the particle\u00a0<acronym title=\"wa\">\u306f<\/acronym>\u00a0ends up indicating its location. Thus, in Japanese sentences, the word that comes before the particle\u00a0<acronym title=\"wa\">\u306f<\/acronym>\u00a0is a strong candidate for subject.<\/p>\n<p><acronym title=\"watashi wa burajirujin desu. - I am Brazilian.\">\u79c1<span class=\"orange\">\u306f<\/span>\u30d6\u30e9\u30b8\u30eb\u4eba\u3067\u3059\u3002<\/acronym><br \/>\n<br \/>\nIn the Japanese sentences we use as an example, both\u00a0<acronym title=\"ga\">\u304c<\/acronym>\u00a0how much\u00a0<acronym title=\"wa\">\u306f<\/acronym>\u00a0there are no translations from Japanese to Portuguese.
