Japanese Language 「Particles」 「Part 10」 「GA・が」 「Part 8」 「5」Ga can be put at the end of a sentence. Note: These usages are similar to the examples for preliminary remarks, except the second clause isn't stated outright (Words in brackets show only one of various contexts) Examples: a) Used to imply unstated meaning that contrasts "Well, yes, but...." おっしゃることはもっともですが.... Ossharu koto wa mottomo desu ga.... What you say is quite right, but...[it's difficult to implement now]. b) Also used when wanting to soften the blow of a refusal: "I am sorry, but...." 部長「ぶちょう」今会議中「いまかいぎ」でございますが..... Buchō wa ima kaigi-chū de gozaimasu ga... The division chief is in a meeting now....[so you'll have to wait to see him]. 「6」When ga is used at the end of a sentence or clause, and preceded by to ii, it indicates that the speaker wants the event to come out as said. Context is important with this, distinction: "It would be nice if; it would have been nice if." Examples: 来年外国「らいねんがいこく」へ旅行「りょこう」できるといいが、だめのようです。 Rainen gaikoku e ryokō dekiru to ii ga, dame no yō desu. It would be nice if I could make a trip abroad next year, but it seems as though I can't [seems impossible]. 早く「はやく」春「はる」が来るといいんだが。 Hayaku haru ga kuru to ii-n da ga. It would be nice if spring came soon./I hope spring comes soon. 彼女「かのじょ」が独身「どくしん」だといいんだが。 Kanojo ga dokushin da to ii-n da ga. I hope she is single./(or knowing she is not) I wish she was single.
