Japanese nouns are quite different from English nouns in some cool ways:
No Plurals: In Japanese, nouns usually don’t change to show that there’s more than one. Instead, people use the context to understand. For example, they might say "たくさん" (takusan) to mean "many."
Particles: Japanese uses small words called particles, like "が" (ga) and "を" (wo), to show who is doing the action and what the action is happening to. This makes the order of words in a sentence more flexible than in English.
No Gender: Unlike some languages where nouns have male or female forms, Japanese nouns are neutral. This makes things simpler!
These differences can seem strange at first, but they also make learning Japanese interesting and fun!
