When you want to say what you are directly acting upon, use the particle 「を」 (pronounced "o", not "wo"). This particle tells you what the direct object of the verb is. For example, if you eat an apple, the apple is what you are eating, so you would mark it with 「を」. It’s like saying "I eat the apple."
Think of it as pointing to the thing that receives the action of the verb. It always comes immediately after the noun it marks. Mastering this particle is key to forming basic sentences in Japanese, as it clarifies who or what is performing an action on what.
When you see the particle ~を (o) after a noun, it tells you that noun is the direct object of the verb. This means the noun is directly affected by the action of the verb.
Think of it like the object in an English sentence. For example, in "I eat sushi," "sushi" is the object. In Japanese, it would be "寿司を食べます (sushi o tabemasu)."
It's a very common and important particle for forming basic sentences, so pay close attention to it!
When discussing objects in a sentence, the particle を (o) is crucial. It directly follows the object of a transitive verb, marking what the verb is acting upon. Think of it as a signpost telling you, "Here's the thing that's being affected by the action."
For example, in the sentence 「パンを食べます」(Pan o tabemasu - I eat bread), パン (pan - bread) is the object being eaten, so it's followed by を. Without を, the sentence would be grammatically incomplete and confusing.
It's important to remember that を is specifically for marking direct objects of transitive verbs. You wouldn't use it with intransitive verbs, which don't take a direct object.
Mastering the use of を is a fundamental step in building clear and correct Japanese sentences, as it helps define the relationship between the verb and the noun it acts upon.
When discussing the particle ~を (o) in Japanese, particularly at a CEFR A2 level, it's essential to grasp its primary function as an object marker. This particle directly follows the direct object of a transitive verb, indicating that the preceding noun is the entity receiving the action of the verb. For example, in the sentence 「パンを食べます」(Pan o tabemasu), 「パン」(pan) is the direct object, and 「食べます」(tabemasu - to eat) is the transitive verb, so 「を」 clearly marks 'bread' as what is being eaten.
Understanding this fundamental role is crucial for constructing grammatically correct sentences and correctly identifying the relationships between nouns and verbs. While 「を」 has other, more nuanced uses at higher CEFR levels (such as marking a point of departure or a place through which movement occurs), focusing on its core function as an object marker is paramount for A2 learners. Mastering this particle allows learners to express a wide range of basic actions and their direct targets, forming a solid foundation for more complex sentence structures later on.
~を em 30 segundos
- Identifies the object of an action.
- Always follows the noun/pronoun it marks.
- Essential for understanding transitive sentences.
§ Understanding the Object Marker ~を (~o)
The Japanese particle ~を (~o) is crucial for forming basic sentences. It marks the direct object of a transitive verb. Think of it as indicating 'what' is being acted upon. If a verb needs an object to make sense (like 'eat' needs 'food'), then that object will be followed by ~を.
§ Basic Sentence Structure with ~を
The typical sentence structure with ~を is: Subject + は (wa) + Object + を (o) + Verb.
Let's break down some examples:
- Subject, Object, Verb
- The person doing the action (subject) is often introduced with は. The thing receiving the action (object) is marked by を. The action itself is the verb, which usually comes at the end of the sentence in Japanese.
私はパンを食べます。
(I eat bread.)
Here, 私 (watashi) is the subject, パン (pan) is the object (what is eaten), and 食べます (tabemasu) is the verb (to eat). The ~を clearly connects 'bread' to the act of 'eating'.
彼は本を読みます。
(He reads a book.)
§ Common Verbs Used with ~を
Many verbs in Japanese are transitive and require an object marked by ~を. Here are some common ones:
- 食べる (taberu): to eat
- 飲む (nomu): to drink
- 読む (yomu): to read
- 書く (kaku): to write
- 見る (miru): to see, to watch
- 聞く (kiku): to hear, to listen
- 買う (kau): to buy
- 作る (tsukuru): to make
- 話す (hanasu): to speak
彼女はコーヒーを飲みます。
(She drinks coffee.)
友達は手紙を書きます。
(My friend writes a letter.)
§ Actions on Locations with ~を
While ~を typically marks a direct object, it can also be used with verbs of movement to indicate the path or area through which an action occurs. This is a common point of confusion for learners, so pay close attention.
- Movement Through/Across
- When you 'walk through' a park, 'cross' a bridge, or 'drive along' a road, the location is treated as the object of the movement verb and is marked with ~を.
公園を散歩します。
(I walk through the park. / I take a walk in the park.)
Here, 公園 (kouen - park) is the area you are moving through. The action is 散歩します (sanpo shimasu - to take a walk).
道を渡ります。
(I cross the road.)
道 (michi - road) is the path being crossed. 渡ります (watarimasu - to cross).
§ What About Dropping ~を?
In casual Japanese conversation, especially when the context is clear, the particle ~を can sometimes be dropped. However, for learners at the A2 level, it's best to include it to ensure clarity and correctness. Dropping particles often happens when speaking very quickly or when the listener can easily infer the meaning.
ご飯を食べる。
(I eat rice.)
Can become:
ご飯食べる。
(Eat rice.)
While this is acceptable in informal speech, always use ~を when writing or in more formal conversations to avoid ambiguity. Mastering the consistent use of ~を is a solid step toward building strong Japanese sentence foundations.
§ What is the を (o) particle?
The Japanese particle を (pronounced 'o' as in 'oh', not 'wo') is called the direct object marker. Its main job is to tell you which noun in a sentence is receiving the action of the verb. Think of it as pointing directly at the thing being acted upon.
§ Basic Structure: Noun を Verb
The most common pattern you'll see with を is a noun followed by を, and then a verb. This shows that the noun is the object of that verb.
パンを食べます。
- Hint
- Pan o tabemasu. (I eat bread.) 'パン' (pan - bread) is the object being eaten.
本を読みます。
- Hint
- Hon o yomimasu. (I read a book.) '本' (hon - book) is the object being read.
§ Verbs that take を
Most transitive verbs (verbs that take a direct object) will use を. Here are some common examples:
- 飲む (nomu) - to drink
- 書く (kaku) - to write
- 見る (miru) - to see/watch
- 聞く (kiku) - to hear/listen
- 買う (kau) - to buy
- する (suru) - to do
§ を with Motion Verbs (Passing Through/Leaving)
While を is primarily for direct objects, it has another important use: indicating the space or area that you pass through, leave, or move across. In these cases, を doesn't mark an object being acted upon, but rather the path or point of departure.
公園を散歩します。
- Hint
- Kouen o sanpo shimasu. (I take a walk through the park.) '公園' (kouen - park) is the area being traversed.
バスを降ります。
- Hint
- Basu o orimasu. (I get off the bus.) 'バス' (basu - bus) is the point of departure.
§ を vs. が (ga)
Beginners often confuse を (o) and が (ga). The key difference is their function:
- を (o): Marks the direct object of a transitive verb. It indicates *what* is being acted upon.
- が (ga): Marks the subject of an intransitive verb, or it can emphasize the subject or object. It indicates *who* or *what* is performing the action (when emphasizing the subject) or *what* is the topic (when emphasizing the object).
リンゴを食べます。
- Hint
- Ringo o tabemasu. (I eat an apple.) 'リンゴ' is the object being eaten.
何が好きですか。
- Hint
- Nani ga suki desu ka. (What do you like?) Here, '何' (nani - what) is the subject of '好き' (suki - like) and を would not be used. If you wanted to say 'I like apples', it would be 'リンゴが好きです。' (Ringo ga suki desu.) because '好き' functions more like an adjective, where 'りんご' is the *topic* of liking.
The general rule is: if a verb acts directly on a noun, use を. If a noun is the subject of a state of being, existence, or an adjective, you're more likely to use が.
§ を vs. に (ni)
Another common confusion is between を (o) and に (ni).
- を (o): Marks the direct object, or the space/path of movement.
- に (ni): Marks the indirect object (to whom/what an action is directed), the destination (to where), or the point in time (at when).
友達に手紙を書きます。
- Hint
- Tomodachi ni tegami o kakimasu. (I write a letter to my friend.) '友達' (tomodachi - friend) is the indirect recipient (marked by に), while '手紙' (tegami - letter) is the direct object (marked by を).
学校に行きます。
- Hint
- Gakkou ni ikimasu. (I go to school.) '学校' (gakkou - school) is the destination (marked by に).
How Formal Is It?
"私は報告書を拝読いたしました。(I humbly read the report.)"
"水を飲みます。(I drink water.)"
"ごはん食べる。(Eat rice/a meal.)"
"おもちゃをあげるね。(I'll give you a toy.)"
"ゲームやるべ。(Let's play games.)"
Curiosidade
The particle 'を' was originally pronounced 'wo' in Old Japanese, and this pronunciation is still occasionally seen in artistic contexts, like song lyrics, even though it's pronounced 'o' in modern standard Japanese.
Guia de pronúncia
- Confusing を (o) with お (o) - while they sound the same, they have different grammatical functions.
- Overuse of を when the object is already clear from context or when using intransitive verbs.

に indicates a destination, a point in time, or an indirect object. It can sometimes feel similar to を if one thinks of 'going to a place,' but を is specifically for the direct object of an action, not a destination.
は marks the topic of a sentence. It can sometimes overlap with が in marking the subject, but は emphasizes what the sentence is about, not necessarily who or what is performing the action as を or が do.

Dicas
Basic use of ~を
The particle ~を (pronounced 'o' or 'wo') always marks the direct object of a transitive verb. Think of it as indicating 'what' the verb is acting upon.
Verb types with ~を
You'll use ~を with transitive verbs like 食べる (taberu - to eat), 飲む (nomu - to drink), 読む (yomu - to read), or 買う (kau - to buy). These verbs need an object.
Sentence structure with ~を
The typical structure is: Subject + Object + を + Verb. For example, 私は (I) + りんご (apple) + を + 食べる (eat) = 私はりんごを食べます (I eat an apple).
Placement of ~を
~を always comes immediately after the noun or noun phrase that is the direct object. Never before, never separated.
Don't confuse ~を with ~が
While both can mark nouns, ~が marks the subject (who/what is doing the action) or the object of certain intransitive verbs/adjectives. ~を specifically marks the direct object of a transitive verb.
Practice with common verbs
Start by making sentences with simple verbs and objects: ご飯を食べます (Gohan o tabemasu - I eat rice), 水を飲みます (Mizu o nomimasu - I drink water), 本を読みます (Hon o yomimasu - I read a book).
Identifying direct objects
Ask yourself: 'What is being verbed?' The answer will be the noun that needs ~を. 'What are you eating?' -> Rice.
Movement verbs with ~を
Sometimes, ~を can indicate a place that is being 'traversed' or 'passed through' by a movement verb. For example, 道を歩く (Michi o aruku - to walk along the road).
Omitting ~を in casual speech
In very casual Japanese, especially in spoken conversation, ~を can sometimes be omitted if the context makes the object clear. But don't rely on this until you're very comfortable with the basics.
Listen for ~を
When listening to Japanese, pay close attention to where ~を appears. This will help you identify the direct object in sentences and understand the speaker's meaning more clearly.
Origem da palavra

Perguntas frequentes
10 perguntasThe '~を' particle is an object marker in Japanese. It directly follows the direct object of a verb, indicating what or whom the verb is acting upon. Think of it like saying 'I eat apples' where 'apples' is the direct object.
Certainly! A common example is 「ご飯を食べます」 (gohan o tabemasu). Here, ご飯 (gohan - rice/meal) is the direct object, and 食べます (tabemasu - to eat) is the verb. So, it means 'I eat rice/a meal'.
Yes, that's a good question! Some verbs, especially those that express existence, location, or state of being, use other particles instead of '~を'. For example, います (imasu - to be, for living things) and あります (arimasu - to be, for non-living things) often use ~が.
Generally, '~を' marks the direct object. If you have multiple elements that could be considered 'objects,' you'll need to look at the verb and the role each element plays. Sometimes, other particles are used for indirect objects or beneficiaries.
While Japanese word order is more flexible than English, the '~を' particle always directly follows the noun or pronoun it marks as the direct object. The general structure is Object + を + Verb.
Yes, in modern standard Japanese, the character 'を' (wo) is always pronounced as 'o' when used as a particle. The 'w' sound is silent in this context.
Yes, in very casual speech, especially when the context is clear, particles like '~を' can sometimes be omitted. However, for learners, it's best to always include it until you have a very strong grasp of natural spoken Japanese to avoid confusion.
A common mistake is using '~を' with verbs that don't take a direct object, or using it when another particle like ~に (ni) or ~が (ga) is more appropriate. Always check what kind of object a verb takes.
No, '~を' can be used with both concrete objects and abstract concepts. For instance, 「夢を追いかける」 (yume o oikakeru - to chase a dream) uses '~を' with an abstract concept.
This is a key distinction! ~を marks the direct object of a transitive verb (the thing being acted upon). ~が (ga) typically marks the subject of a sentence (the one doing the action) or the object of certain intransitive verbs or adjectives, often highlighting new information or emphasizing the subject. For example, 「私がリンゴを食べます」 (watashi ga ringo o tabemasu - I eat an apple).

Summary
The particle を is crucial for identifying the direct object of a verb, making it clear what is being acted upon in a sentence.
- Identifies the object of an action.
- Always follows the noun/pronoun it marks.
- Essential for understanding transitive sentences.
Basic use of ~を
The particle ~を (pronounced 'o' or 'wo') always marks the direct object of a transitive verb. Think of it as indicating 'what' the verb is acting upon.
Verb types with ~を
You'll use ~を with transitive verbs like 食べる (taberu - to eat), 飲む (nomu - to drink), 読む (yomu - to read), or 買う (kau - to buy). These verbs need an object.
Sentence structure with ~を
The typical structure is: Subject + Object + を + Verb. For example, 私は (I) + りんご (apple) + を + 食べる (eat) = 私はりんごを食べます (I eat an apple).
Placement of ~を
~を always comes immediately after the noun or noun phrase that is the direct object. Never before, never separated.
