7) Ga can be used idiomatically after contrastive verbs or adjectives: "whether or not."

a) After the -ō forms of contrastive verbs or adjectives

Examples:
私は助かろう「たすかろう」が死のう「しのう」がかまいません。
Watashi wa tasukarō ga shinō ga kamaimasen.
I don't care whether or not I live [lit., am saved] or die.

篤かろ「あつかろう」うが寒かろう「さむかろう」が私は大丈夫「だいじょうぶ」です。
Atsukarō ga samukarō ga watashi wa daijōbu desu.
I'm all right [ it doesn't bother me] whether it's hot or cold.

b) Ga is used after the -ō and -mai forms of the same verb

Examples:
私が行こう「いこう」が行くまい「いくまい」が、あなたには関係「かんけい」ないことです。
Watashi ga ikō ga ikumai ga, anata ni wa kankei nai koto desu.
Whether I go or not has nothing to do with you [ is not your concern].

田中さん「たなかさん」が信じよう「しんじよう」が信じまい「しんじまい」が、ぼくははっきりとUFOをみました。
Tanaka-san ga shinjiyō ga shinjimai ga, boku wa hakkiri to yūfō o mimashita.
Whether Tanaka believes it or not, I clearly saw a UFO.

8) Ga can be used with the expression V[verb]+ga hayai ka "as soon as, no sooner had."

Examples:
窓「まど」を開ける「あける」が早いか「はやいか」、猫「ねこ」がとびこんできた。
Mado o akeru ga hayai ka, neko ga tobikonde kita.
No sooner had the window been opened than the cat jumped in./As soon as I opened the window, the cat jumped in.

横「よこ」になるがはやいか、すぐ眠って「ねむって」しまった。
Yoko ni naru ga hayai ka, sugu nemutte shimatta.
No sooner had I lain down than I fell asleep./I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

With this entry ends the information of the Japanese particle Ga・が. The next entry will pertain to the particle of Mo・も, and all its applicable uses. Thank you for your time, and hope this was informative.
