Noun + は

The particle は marks the topic of a sentence, which is the person, thing, or concept that the speaker is talking about. It is pronounced as 'wa' when used as a particle.

Noun as Topic

When a noun is the topic of the sentence, it is followed by は. This indicates that the speaker is providing information about that specific noun.

The particle は is used to establish what the sentence is about. It can replace the subject marker が or the object marker を when that noun becomes the topic. However, it is usually added after particles like に, へ, で, or と.
