Questions & Answers about watashi wa osharena kamigata ga suki desu.

Why do we need both は and が in the same sentence?

In 私は おしゃれな髪型が 好きです, は and が have different roles:

• は marks the topic: what we’re talking about.
  • 私
    • は = As for me / Speaking about me
• が marks the thing that is liked with 好き.
  • 髪型
    • が = hairstyles (are the thing that) I like

Literally, the structure is:

• 私は = As for me,
• おしゃれな髪型が = stylish hairstyles (are what)
• 好きです = are liked.

So it’s like: “As for me, stylish hairstyles are liked.”
That’s why both は (topic) and が (subject of 好き) coexist naturally in this sentence.

Why is it 髪型が好き and not 髪型を好き?
