Questions & Answers about tatoeba, kyuujitsu wa kazoku to issho ni kouen de sanposhimasu.
What does the particle は after 休日 do, and why not use に?
は marks the topic: 休日は means “As for holidays” and sets up a habitual/general statement. 休日に means “on a (the) holiday” as a time marker for a specific occasion. You can also say 休日には, which both topicalizes and marks time, often with a slightly stronger emphasis on the time.
Can I omit 私は here?
Yes. Japanese often drops obvious subjects. With 休日は, the listener will assume “I” if you’re talking about your routine. If you mean someone else, use their name or a pronoun: 田中さんは休日は…
Is 家族と enough, or should I say 家族と一緒に?
Both are correct. 家族と already means “with my family.” Adding 一緒に explicitly says “together,” which is natural and common but not required. So:
- 家族と散歩します = with my family, I take a walk.
- 家族と一緒に散歩します = I take a walk together with my family (slightly more emphatic).
Why is there に after 一緒? Shouldn’t “with” be と?
The “with” relationship is shown by と after the companion (家族と). 一緒に is a set adverb meaning “together,” and it always uses に in this adverbial form. You don’t say 一緒と for this meaning.
Can I drop and just say ?
