Free! Wiki

Hi everyone, Tari here!

I have been adding and editing a lot of the Japanese songs and titles within the Free Wikia and I have been wondering about the use of Japanese particles, more specifically, what romanized (romaji) form of each particle that should be used. Basically what I'm trying to say is; I don't know how to change particles from Kanji to Romaji. There are all different versions across the wiki, so I don't know what's correct. I've made assumptions before, but I feel like I should check with everyone just to make sure. Here are the three I am confused with: (Click read more to view Kanji)

- used to indicate a topic[]

  • The character itself is 'ha'
  • In a sentence, is pronouced 'wa'
    • Would it be written as 'ha' or 'wa'?
      • e.g.) "Seikai ha itsumo..." / "Seikai wa itsumo..."


- used to indicate an action[]

  • The character itself is 'wo'
  • In a sentence, is pronouced 'o'
    • Would it be written as 'wo' or 'o'?
      • e.g) "Kizuna wo Tsure..." / "Kizuna o Tsure..."


- used to address (a person/people), indicate direction & time[]

  • The character itself is 'he'
  • In a sentence, is pronouced 'e'
    • Would it be written as 'he' or 'e'?
      • e.g) "Ashita he..." / "Ashita e..."


Hopefully that somewhat makes sense because it's a lot of info to take in :)))))))
