Duolingo Grammar Practice
I'm starting at Section 1, Unit 4: Order food and drink
Our formula = X ใฏ Y ใงใ
ใฏ = Topic Marker
TIP โ ใฏ is only pronounced wa as a topic, anywhere else besides the greetings; ใใใซใกใฏ, and ใใใฐใใฏ, ใฏ is pronounced ha.

Sentence 1: ใใใฏใซใฌใผใงใใ(This is curry.)
โ In this sentence, the ใฏ marker comes right after ใใ, making, this, the topic of the sentence, and curry the object, or what this is referring to.
โ i am talking about this curry, not that curry
