Our nine-step Japanese learning guide will show you how to teach yourself Japanese in a structured,effective way.

The indefinite article is what we call the word a in English. The indefinite article is used with nouns in English (a book, a chair, a door etc.). To get started in Japanese, pick just 3 important nouns. We suggest you learn the nouns šomotsu, isu and doa (book, chair, door). Once you have learned these nouns, you can then learn how to use each noun with the indefinite article. This is easy in Japanese, because in Japanese, there is no indefinite article. So the word šomotsu can mean book or a book, the word isu can mean chair or a chair and the word doa can mean door or a door. You can scroll to the top of this page to see a short lesson about the indefinite article in Japanese including useful examples. Once you have learned to use the indefinite article with the Japanese nouns šomotsu, isu and doa, you're ready to move on to Step 4 (the definite article in Japanese).
