Questions & Answers about asa wa kaze ga tsuyoi desu.

Why is は used after 朝?

In Japanese, は is the topic marker. By attaching は to 朝 (“morning”), you’re saying “As for the morning…,” which sets 朝 as the context or frame for what follows. It’s like pointing out the time when something happens or is true.

Why is が used after 風 instead of は or を?

が is the subject marker here. Within the topic “morning,” 風 (“wind”) is the subject that “strong” applies to.

• は would turn 風 into a new topic, shifting focus.
• を marks a direct object, but here nothing is being acted upon; you’re describing a state.
  So 風が強い means “the wind is strong.”

What’s the difference between は and が in this sentence?

They serve different roles:

• は picks out the topic or context (here, “the morning”).
• が marks the grammatical subject that has the property or performs the action (here, “the wind”).
  In “朝は風が強い,” you’re saying “As for the morning (は), the wind (が) is strong.”
