What does the Japanese particle Wo mean JLPT N5

Japanese learners will find this blog post useful for understanding how to use the particle を. This is a great introduction to using particles in Japanese and some of the nuances that are important to know when trying to communicate with others.

Wo を is using it as a direct object marker, meaning that it marks the noun which receives an action or event described by a verb. For example,ご飯を食べます。 I eat rice. ご飯 is Object and 食べます is Verb.  It is important to pronounce the particle を as “o”. The direct object of a verb always links it to that action, which makes its correct pronunciation more than necessary for clarity in communication. The word before を O must be Noun. Noun + を O
