Questions & Answers about watashi no hiruma no yotei wa daitai kaji to benkyou da.

Why are there two の in a row (as in 私の昼間の予定)?

The particle の links nouns. You can chain them repeatedly:

• 私 の 昼間 の 予定 = “the plans/schedule (予定) for the daytime (昼間) that belong to me (私).” The rightmost noun is the main one (予定), and each の-phrase to the left narrows it down. This stacking is completely normal in Japanese.

Is 私 necessary here?

Often not. If it’s clear you’re talking about yourself, Japanese tends to omit pronouns. You could say:

• 昼間の予定は、だいたい家事と勉強だ。 Use 私の when you need to clarify ownership or contrast with someone else’s plans.

Why is it は after 予定 and not が?

は marks the topic: what you’re talking about. Here, it frames “my daytime plans” as the topic. が marks the grammatical subject and tends to introduce new, specific information or contrast it in an answer.

• 昼間の予定は… sets the stage: “As for my daytime plans…”
• 昼間の予定がだいたい家事と勉強だ sounds like you’re identifying or contrasting that particular schedule (e.g., in an answer to “Which schedule is mostly housework and studying?”). In most neutral statements of this type, は is more natural.

Why does the sentence end with だ and not です? Is だ rude?
