Japanese Wa, Ga, & Wo

[Rhyf]

I've just started the Ical online certificate course and am having a little trouble explaining about MT influence on English speaking.

Japanese Wa, Ga, & Wo.

Does anyone know the English grammatical terms for these words?

Maybe something like wa = subjective particle, wo = objective particle.

I tried the Ical forums but there doesn't seem to be a lot of activity there. Frankly the grammatical jargon is beginning to give me a headache.

Are you confused when to use "wa", "ga" and "wo"? These particles are for Japanese learning.

Are you sure that you need to know the use of Japanese particles? Is this what you are asking? I thought you were doing an ICAL course.

Here are some sample sentences using the particles.

Watashi ha Australia-jin. -> I am Australian.
Kare ga watashi no tomodachi. -> He is my friend.
Kore wo futatsu kudasai. -> 2 of these please.

Yeah, I pretty much know how to use them, (most of the time.)
I was just trying to go into detail while explaining why a Japanese student might make a certain error when using MT grammar to speak English.
Maybe I should be more general and just label them as particles.

Sounds fine to me if you want to give them the above names rather than the more general name of "particle".
